Winter Solstice Edition, 2007

 

From the President, Jo Belasco, Esq.

Greetings from lovely northern New Mexico!  What a year this has been for all of us.  This edition of our newsletter is reflective both of the time of year on the calendar and the time of change in Tapestry's life.  We have been in New Mexico for two months, and the vision that began with our mission in Sowbelly Canyon in Nebraska has continued to grow and become even more powerful. 

As we look back, we also look ahead.  The daylight hours have reached their shortest point here in the Northern Hemisphere.  The time of long nights and darkness is about to shift to culminate in longer days and brighter sunshine.  

Tapestry joins Nature in this shift, as we come through our dark days following the wildfire and constant pressure to log Sowbelly Canyon, and we begin to experience the new growth in our work, new partnerships, new friendships,new land, and new ways to help people, the earth, and her creatures.  We have exciting plans for the future, beginning with the purchase in 2008 of our new land partner, BearLodge.  We are anxious to continue our work of reconnecting people with the Land through Indigenous ways of knowing. 

Please visit our updated website on January 1, 2008, and join us as we move forward on what I can promise you will be an exciting and healing journey. 

Happy Holidays to everyone reading this, from all of us at Tapestry Institute!  -- Jo
