Welcome to our gathering. We are many little puddles that make a lake. As our lake grows it becomes two lakes and we replenish each other. From our hearts we offer respect, caring and sharing. We explore together 'sacred cows' and look for the truth under every rock. We believe in our own inner wisdom and body wisdom. We believe there are simple solutions by natural design. We believe health is a holistic way of living encompassing mind, body, spirit. On any given day you'll find us discussing who knows? We are explorers and welcome meeting others who share the same passion. Life is an adventure.

Knowledge should be a refreshing and vitalizing force. It becomes so only through stimulating intercourse with congenial friends with whom one holds discussion and practices application of the truths of life. In this way learning becomes many-sided and takes on a cheerful lightness, whereas there is always something ponderous and one-sided about the learning of the self-taught.

We are puddles to puddles, lake to lake...
