Tararu Valley Sanctuary, on The Coromandel Peninsula in Thames, New Zealand A great place to connect with your Soul, learn to skin a possum, soak in hot pools, hike forever and witness the power of mother nature while hiking up creeks and through lush green forests. I have had fun harvesting loads of purple potatoes as bright as purple gets, eating fresh cukes, lettuce, tomatoes, pumpkins, green beans, etc…I’ve set traps for non-indigenous possums to allow the ancient forest to live & thrive, taken time to breathe and feel my heart pumping on all the hills like never before. I have beaded and read WHOLE PLANET catalog and Earth Garden magazine along with STING’s book, and I’ve written a lot myself as well. It has been an amazing journey shared with a tribe of 8 friends here, (and all my loved ones around the world thanks to email). This is a sanctuary for forest and humans. I love it here. Last night, which was April 28th in NZ, we had cake by candle light and celebrated my birthday with hours of soaking in mineral hot pools, and made a delicious BBQ picnic. We live in a beautiful 5-bedroom house on top of a mountain with only one 4WD vehicle to take us from the bottom of the property. Sadly, it was already up at the house when we got home from the pools, and so we walked up in the darkest night at 10pm, about a mile straight up on the 4 Wheeldrive-access-only trail. Tonight, since it is still my birthday in America, we will have chocolate fondue to continue my birthday celebration …….and I am quite happy about that. May 3rd I move on to Hawaii to a new job, a new island, a new tribe….interconnecting with my Scottish, L.A. & S.B. Aussi, Israeli, NYC, & N.Z. tribes always…I am excited at being a part of The Resonance Project on the big island of Hawaii, and happy to have so much to bring to it after this awesome adventure downunder. Thanks for staying in touch. This is a time of huge transition for all of us I feel. I am so grateful for the friends who travel the high road with me… Carry on with your good efforts and thank you for supporting me in mine. Love from New Zealand….Claire
