We wanted a small corner of earth to tend. 

We hoped for a place, too, where we could further study how practices of the heart, spirit, and imagination entwine with serving the planet and humanity. 

We have found that place. It includes a simple barn, the birth of modest gardens, and a farmhouse all situated on 4 acres in one of New York's oldest farming communities, Accord (accent on the first syllable).

How humans have interacted with this particular land mirrors much of our collective history and of upstate New York's history.  Originally a farm in the 1800s, the land was then used as a summer camp from the 1940s to 1980s.  The barn and land have served 19th-century farmers and 20th-century recreational campers.  Now, we hope that 21st-century teachers, artists, & practitioners of all kinds will relate to the earth in ways fitting for our times.   

We call the barn & gardens WEN.

In Chinese history, WEN absorbs many concepts & phenomenon--nature, constellations, animal tracks, bird flight patterns, weather patterns, writing. WEN includes a series of ancient ways of reading nature's languages so that we might live more deeply connected to the way life flows and unfolds.

WEN Barn & Gardens is not a school of thought or religion.  We have years of complementary training, education, experience, reflection, and study without dogma.  We have traditions without rigidity.  We have teachers without gurus.

We have a safe, simple place to study, to explore, to expand.  We open this place to anyone interested in how creativity, earth, and spirit interrelate.
