Let me show you some remaining pics of this wonderful retreat...
The main building served as reception, dining hall, library, and social hub spot....
I was the poster child for R&R.
 |
| Entry veranda. |
 |
| The dining hall served delicious organic meals 3x's a day. |
I loved that we could sit on the floor on Bedouin mats and eat n' conversate.
 |
| Outdoor alcove in the main building. |
Oft time, I'd wander up to the library...
 |
| The kiddie corner. |
 |
| Plenty of books for leisurely reading! |
 |
| French doors led to a balcony patio. |
 |
| My favorite reading corner. |
 |
| Isn't this farm mobile cute? |
 |
| Idyllic pond. |
This was the retreat's meeting center for large groups that would come down. That particular weekend, a large group of Swedes, Canadians, and Germans were visiting. The retreat was an international meeting place!
 |
| Loved the door's simple pullout handle. |
 |
| All dome ceilings had stained-glass plates outlining a cross. |
 |
| Group think tank. |
 |
| The farm store. |
 |
| A self-supporting farm. |
 |
| Homemade jams. Yummmmers. |
 |
| Organic soaps & other goodies made by the sisters. |
 |
| Purchases: homemade candles, hibiscus tea, prayer beads, earrings. |
 |
| And then, it was time to leave. |
It was a wonderful weekend filled with copious sunshine, healthy air, and earthly labor of my own volition... but I got an enormous amount of rest and relaxation too as I read, sunbasked, swam, and meditated. Life was good at Anafora. It was my Eat, Pray, Love.....
