The Goddess

The Goddess is that all-knowing part of us, regardless of gender.
She is far more than outward physical beauty.
She is the essence that springs forth from the depths of creativity
that encompass the innocence of the child,
playfulness of the youth, and wisdom of the great mother.

She is the place where all possibility lies,
birthing forth into light in the appropriate time
in accordance with nature and the natural rhythms of life.

It is the feminine, the soft, nurturing, patient, and supportive essence,
as well as, the dynamic strength and passionate vitality of the spirit
that is the core to the creation of life as we know it.
That is the Goddess, the all encompassing power of the feminine divine.

~ Cindy Shuster

Oak Creek twists and turns through the trees, trails, sacred circles andvortexes found throughout the property. Hidden along the creek are numerous spots for one to enjoy quiet reflective time.

Oak Creek opens up to a beautifully cool and refreshing swimming hole which is perfect for dipping, splashing and playing.
