What visitors say about their Wonderful Wednesday
"It was a beautiful night! The 1st labyrinth was awesome - I felt pixie/hobbit energy. The grounds are just absolutely beautiful. The drumming in the forest especially by the fire was beautifully potent."
— Zoe
A Night with the Stars
"Walking the Labyrinth with the torches was a mindful exercise that corresponded to my current mental space. Not working was 'the dark sky'. Looking for the middle was 'keep going'. Finding the end was 'been there, done that'."
— Shan
Emerald Forest Guest
"I am very blessed to be there to share this wonderful experience with everyone. The drumming is now one of four activities that transports my mind back to infancy and beyond. I thank you Carters and your Emerald Forest."
— Elizabeth Lynch
