Making these spaces is my ceremony. Being present here is my prayer.

Always give something in reciprocation for what you receive.
Moon Temple
About The Infinity Temple: 8 Circles divided into three articulate balanced energies. The lemniscate leads in both clockwise and counter-clockwise circles, and you pass in and out of the center line. Walking the form gently unites body, mind and spirit. Past, present and future become one as time dissolves. All places are here and all times are now. The dragonfly shape-shifted into a spider in 2019 reminding that the Earth and our cosmos are always changing.
The Infinity Temple Labyrinth
This place shape-shifted on shape at a time to become what it is today. Visit here to read more.
Ghost lodge
It is a place that can only be experienced from the ground, but fully grasped when viewed from the sky. Google Earth at these coordinates.
The Infinity Temple 1/1/22
The temple honors the ancestors and the unseen energies and occupants of this land. There are many paths. Please visit and walk your own unique journey through it.
Walking the labyrinth
A maze confuses, confounds, distorts, and disorients, while a labyrinth centers, focuses, and grounds, cultivating cohesion through inner and outer harmony. Walking in combination with the dual lemniscates (“infinity signs”) of the Dragonfly, increases balanced motion, focus and well-being.
A labyrinth is walked in a single direction only. By following “the path” it will lead you to the center. You may choose to “leave something behind” (an old thought form or pattern) on the walk inward, to open up space for something new in your life on the walk back out. Whatever mind and heart-space you choose, the labyrinth supports your journey towards your center, and your most authentic self.

The Osage Creation Story
The Osage Indians lived for centuries in this central part of what is now the United States. The first time I walked this property I saw visions of teepees where the labyrinth temple is now. I had a deep feeling that I had lived here in past lives. The Osage people were tall and strong. Their creation story resonated deeply with me when I read it, and I have found evidence of this story on the land.
“When the Children of the Middle Waters, who in their humility called themselves the Little Ones, came down from the stars, they floated down into the red oak tree, and as they alighted they loosened acorns which clattered down among the leaves, bouncing from the limbs and branches. They must have come down singly or in small groups, with the People of the Waters leading. They floated down from the sky with their legs outstretched to the tree tops, and their arms up like the winds of an alighted eagle, since it is this great bird’s landing which they later imitated in the creation dances.”
Mathews, John Joseph. The Osages: Children of the Middle Waters. Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1961, p. 10

First Nations People teach us how to learn from plants, animals and even the elements through intentional observation. I invite you to observe and contemplate all you encounter! There are untold and unique lessons for each visitor here. And as you walk this land, you may see signs of those who went before us, living in harmony with Mother Earth. I acknowledge that this is the traditional land of the Kansa, Pawnee, Osage, and Osawatamie peoples.
Inuksuk Protector of the Sun Temple
These markers are inspired by those found in the Arctic Circle, are used for many purposes. The original Inuksuk stone being guards the entrance to the farm, even as it marks the way into the heart of the land. The newest one above guards the 42 Standing Stone Sun Temple.

Elements, states and directions
I love working with balance and that requires listening deeply to the elements, states of energies and subtitles of the directions. I love making connections between things and this chart summarizes those connections i’ve noticed over the years. And of course, that understanding continues to grow and expand and change based on experience! Enjoy this puzzle and see how it resonates with your ideas.
Harmony Farm will never be completely tamed.

Recommendations
• Bees (and other warrior insects), ticks, mosquitos, chiggers, wasps and other insects may be present in large and small numbers. If you are allergic proceed at your own risk and with caution. Your wellbeing is your responsibility.
• Poison Ivy Every effort is made to keep paths clear of poison ivy. Please stay on paths if you are concerned about it.
• Physical Exertion. The labyrinth walk, from beginning to center and back out again, is over a mile and half with some steep terrain that can be muddy after rain. This length, combined with sun, heat, cold, lightning, and other weather factors, requires a base level of physical fitness. Please honor your limits and take proper precautions or come with necessary assistance. Every attempt is made to keep the main path to the labyrinth well maintained, especially during summer months. However, due to excessive rainfall, wind, or other natural weather, you may need to negotiate obstacles or blockages.
• Proper footgear. Bare feet and casual footwear is not recommended.
• Bring sufficient water. There is no potable public water source on site. Please bring your own
• Respect others presence. A labyrinth is generally intended to be walked in a contemplative manner. Although absolute silence is not mandatory, please respect the presence and desires of occupants, neighbors, and fellow walkers. Should you arrive as someone is already walking in silence, please honor their experience, as you would in any other place of retreat.
• Children and their playful energy are welcome when accompanied by a parent, teacher or guardian who assumes full responsibility for their safety, respect, honoring the paths in the labyrinth, and the intention of this place. Children are a gift to the land, and it can be helpful if the parent/teacher/ guardian gives them an orientation to what this place offers, and helps guide them through it.
Courtesies when coming to visit
•No dogs during communal events please. You may bring them if you are walking the space on your own, but they must be under control at all times.
Park only in the designated area inside the front gate to the right. Please do not drive up, or block the driveway. The house is off limits unless you are part of a retreat being held on site, or an event sponsored by the proprietor. Enter through the basement door if you are attending a sponsored event.
• Please practice quiet, especially in the labyrinth.
• Please close any gates you open to pass through.
• Walk only on established paths in the labyrinth. As you pass others, coming or going, please squeeze by each other on paths without stepping on and squashing the plants.
• Pack it in/pack it out.
• Appropriate Offerings to the land may be left along paths and on altars in any of the Medicine Spaces.
• NO FIRES ANYWHERE IN GRASSY AREAS
Donations are requested to help with the upkeep of this space!
