We recently welcomed the Summer Solstice at Sunrise here at the Cuyamungue Institute. (click on the sunrise photo, above left, to view full size image) It was only a few days after winding up our "Hero Journey" workshop at the beginning of June (we've scheduled the next one for October 4-7) that the Board of Directors arrived for a five-day intensive board meeting. The focus was to bring the business of the Institute up-to-date and map out the future. We are fortunate to have the dedication and wisdom of three long-time members, Jackie, Rae, and Stephanie, as well as my wife Laura, a visionary, and two new, energetic members from the world of

environmental consulting, with Alan Ismond -- and psychotherapy, with Cynthia Devlin (see more on our new members below). Please join us in welcoming them. <br><br> We have a whirlwind of momentum stirring things up here at the Cuyamungue Institute and many exciting developments. While we are an international organization, it has been important to meet and great our neighbors in the Santa Fe area. Laura and I have hosted several introductory events for the local community and everywhere we go, as people ask us about what we do, we are meeting wonderful people who are expressing interest in this work. <br><br> After the board meeting, Laura and I joined Cynthia Devlin for a pilgrimage to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/chcu/index.htm">Chaco Canyon</a>. We first visited Chaco in the early 1990's and received my first native flute. So, I now travel with a flute and "pray the flute" as a way to honor sacred sites and the ancient ones who came before. <a href="http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/casa-riconanda.jpg">Here is a photo</a> at sunset at Casa Rinconada. This is the largest kiva in the extensive complex of Chaco's extraordinary collection of three and four story stone structures. Sitting in the middle of this kiva is where I had a break-through experience that changed the course of my life, so going back to revisit this site had deep significance. Laura arranged a private visit with Ranger G.B. Cornucopia, an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeoastronomy">archeoastrono mer</a> who in the 25 years he has been at the park, has come to know intimately the vast number of sites aligned in various ways with the solstices, equinoxes, and other celestial markers that are cleverly and subtly incorporated into the large, well-planned, ceremonial structures. The next time you come to CI, consider adding several extra days to your trip to camp out at Chaco and explore this unique and fascinating part of the Anasazi world. <br><br> We want to thank all those who have made donations and/or have volunteered to support the Cuyamungue Institute. Please take a moment to scroll down for our donations report prepared by Laura Lee. With your help, we are committed to continuing to broaden and deepen the impact of the Cuyamungue Method and continue to offer this profound experiential practice to the global community. <br><br> If you have any questions about the Institute or the Cuyamungue Method, please feel free to contact us.

In Colombia we have practiced ecstatic trance using the Cuyamungue Method for more than three years, although I began to experience a connection with this knowledge more than five years ago when I had a series of dreams and visions in which a friend gave me gifts that my grandmother had sent me in order to heal hearts...

FOR A COMPLETE REPORT of the donations, developments and upgrades with photos at the Cuyamungue Institutes, visit <a href="http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/articles-and-news/donoracknowledgement/">http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/articles-andnews/donor-acknowledgement/</a> <br><br> CI has been blessed with many gifts recently. <br><br> Kim Miller, and The Lester and Bernice Smith Foundation, both donated a significant sum for refurbishing the grounds and facilities at CI. This generous contribution allowed us to accomplish a lot, and quickly. Paul and I arrived three weeks before our June workshop, so this was the window to get CI upgraded and ready for the workshop season. We were thankful to have the funds on hand so we could get right to it. <br><br> The first project Paul tackled was the kitchen. He wanted to expand it, as meal prep for a dozen people, by four or five, gets rather congested in a tiny kitchen! For the wall where a long plastic table had stood, Paul found nine feet of matching cabinets at the Habitat for <br><br>

Humanity charity store, plus a counter top to fit. That adds a lot of work space, plus storage. He found a tall pantry cupboard to replace the metal cabinet, and reworked the cabinets around the stove to accommodate the newer, larger stove that Jackie Haworth donated. Thank you Jackie, for the stove, and just in time! The old one blew up while we were waiting for the new one to arrive. Also, Jack and Diana Scott made a much-appreciated contribution to this kitchen project. We ran into Steve Thomas, former host of "This Old House," who we knew from my previous interview with him regarding his years spent with a Polynesian elder, one of the last who knew the old ways of navigation by the stars, waves, and birds. Steve's new gig is spokesman/ambassador for Habitat for Humanity, and it was his turn to interview us for his blog, about why we were shopping at the Habitat store. We needed vintage cabinets, we told him. We couldn't afford to rip out all the kitchen cabinets in order to expand them. We were lucky that we found older, recycled cabinets that exactly match what we have already. <br><br> Vintage and recycled was the theme that carried us through the entire project -- that, and to have just what we needed appear, when we needed it! We bought new as appropriate, as needed; but where we found items, ready and willing to be repurposed, we were glad to do so -- it helped us maintain the rustic simplicity that is part of the charm here at CI. Not to mention, stretching our funds to accomplish even more! <br><br> Part of the fun was that we seemed to have slipped into some higher order shopping groove; just when we added some unusual item to the list, it seemed to appear. One day we were wondering how to handle the recycling of jars and plastic and paper, the next day, as we were looking for something else, we found a practically new recycling unit with three lidded bins that just fits under the kitchen window. I bought many, many kitchen items to make food prep and clean up easier: cutting boards, pots, serving dishes, flatware, towels, racks, mitts, an assortment of tools and utensils, as well as big serving trays to make the trek from kitchen to dining table more efficient. <br><br> For the dining hall and entry of the student building, we rearranged what furniture was here, and added a few new pieces. You'd be amazed what is donated to charity shops, in the way of rustic, hand-made pine tables, sideboards, and other pieces we found. Happily, it all blends with what is already here, and was very affordable. Paul is good at seeing the potential in a piece, and repurposing. He found a long, low set of rustic pine drawers,

that he remade into the bench seat now sitting at the entryway. He made a new top for it that fits the curve of the wall, now looks like its always been there. And a new, tightly fitting screen door should help keep critters out of the building. The bathrooms got a bit of a make-over: shelves were added, mirrors replaced, new hooks, and fresh paint on everything cleaned it right up. <br><br> <a href="http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/table.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1822" title="table" src="http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/wpcontent/uploads/2012/07/table.jpg" align="left" alt="" width="253" height="283" /></a>Paul found a gorgous trestle table with matching chairs on Craigslist. It is a hand-scraped, custom built set by renowned local artisans. The owner made a partial donation (--thank you Ken!) of it, and it's ten-foot length comfortably seats full workshops. The former long skinny dining table has become the library table, with the addition of two library chairs, and a span of bookshelves. <br><br> The landscaping project centered on making the pathways safer. Some paths were widened with additional flagstone. Some were raked and re-edged with rock. A torrential rain early on showed us where the water hitting the ground wanted to go so a french drain here and there was added, and a few channels dug to redirect it. I found solar path lights on sale for $2 each at Lowe's, so I bought dozens and they now illuminate the paths at night. They are on the dimmer side, as we did not want to interfere with watching the stars. (see May Hsi's<a href="http://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/articles-and-news/themilky-way-over-cuyamungue/"> gorgeous photo's</a> of the Milky Way over the casita). Now, as you drive down the hill at night into the complex of buildings, the solar lights make an enchanting welcome. The next project was to make the bunk house more comfortable for guests. Paul removed the storage bins, making more room for the cots. He added carpets and Native American wall hangings, and a big rustic table with chairs and overhead hanging lamp. It was now so comfortable there -- -- its the coolest place to be on a hot day -- that it was the preferred meeting place during our recent board meeting.
