We
start with an amazing story of a random Memorial Day car ride that
ultimately brought Evelyn and her family to the desert. Evelyn is a
retired Marriage and Family Counselor who along with her husband,
Frank, now spends her days enjoying quiet desert mornings watching
the birds in the backyard.
After
retiring, Evelyn spent some time taking writing classes at Copper
Mountain College and had some of her writing published in HOWL, the
college's annual publication. In this
episode, Evelyn shares one of her wonderful desert
poems with us - don't miss it!
A
seeker with an interest in meditation since the 1960's, Evelyn was
a Reverend with The Institute of Mentalphysics, now
the Joshua Tree Retreat Center. The
Haggards continue to teach mediation at their Center for the Open Rose and
Evelyn shares the inspiration for the
name.
