▪️...becoming home, caring tender & being inspired to the core…

🍂Time is slipping through our fingers like sand, unable to stay in our palms... Already halfway through... Transitioning to Autumn, rainy and cozy days welcomed us this past weekend, with beautiful melodies rising and dancing under the falling waters.

🧀This week we had the pleasure of learning how to make local cheese with Mr. Takis from Malantreni village. He shared his wisdom of life skills with us and welcomed us with sincerity. We gained a lot of knowledge about old recipes and ways of living in a small village of Greece.

🛠️Group projects are progressing with much experiential learning, new skills, playfulness and planning. Oak Tree landscaping and decorations are almost finished, Pergola has arrived at the point of forming the arch, Stairs are in amazing symmetry and rising, and The Car has been cleared of many mechanical parts and now it's time to take the engine out!

🩸Some of us have volunteered to donate blood to the blood bank, to outreach the larger community, through offering medical service. Appreciating the opportunity and the ones who have donated their blood, that will possibly save a life one day.

🐞Hopeland has become home; bonding deeper, playing more, learning more, sensing more, belonging vaster, caring tender and being inspired to our core.

🏵️Swipe till the end to see the Queens of The Circle 😉
