Soul Friend

Clare Thomasina

served as Resident Kitty, Greeter, and Soul Friend in our physical and energetic space prior to the Institute's closure
on March 1, 2025.

Nature is probably our greatest healing resource.
From the plants, we gain medicines and beauty.  
From the trees, we get fruit and strength.
The stones gift us with color, light,
and electrical frequencies of health.
And the animals guide, teach, and protect us.
We are blessed by Nature. It touches each of us
in personal and special ways.
