Here is an interview with me by Kathy Baxter who has started a new program “Sprit Talks” on the local streaming radio station. We talk about my motivation for creating Earth Sanctuary, the new Stupa, the new Gray Whale Medicine Wheel, and the other sacred spaces of Earth Sanctuary. Here is a direct link to the mp3 file.

While enjoying a wonderful sunny drive on the Island, my friend and I came across the “Earth Sanctuary”. We instantly fell in love with this wonderful and peaceful place. Spending several hours there, we were able to embrace it’s beauty, enjoy nature’s animals, and experience the great sense of spirituality that this place emanates;bringing us for a while, a little bit closer to our Creator. I truly respect and admire your work here. Thank you for allowing us to visit this beautiful place. -cc-
