Not yet finished, but here is a sneak preview of the main Guesthouse courtyard makeover. Access to the Common Room will be pleasant and easy for all.

Yes, the walkway will not stay cement-color and serious landscaping is taking place as well.

We are very happy with the Guesthouse progress thus far, and hope that all who come on retreat will be pleasantly surprised as well.

Happy USA Independence Day, with assurance of our prayers and best regards.
