“There is pleasure in the pathless woods; There is rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more.” —Lord Byron
We are so grateful for summers at Chinook!
The Westgarden, under the loving care of our staff, apprentice, and volunteers, has been exploding with growth and bounty. The halls and houses have been home to some truly amazing people and their work, and the programs being held at the Institute this year have been rich, powerful, and transformative.
As the growing season peaks, before the Earth begins to whisper hints of autumn—a foggy morning here, a turning leaf there—before the harvest, and the months of home and hearth . . . go outside! Kick off your shoes! Breathe deep! Rejoice!
Enjoy this summer, for it truly is a gift.
