Spanning diverse cultures and mythologies, the Phoenix has long been a symbol of rebirth, resurrection, and immortality. Born of fire, this mystic animal lives hundreds of years. Sensing it's end, it builds a nest of cinnamon and consumes itself with the fire that burns from within only to be reborn from the ashes of this dramatic end. In the distant past, this inspiring creature sounds a clarion call to remind us that what was once consumed by fire, can be born anew.

Our Oasis, our Paradise, the place where our souls gathered to dance and drink in the simple delight of togetherness... was taken by fire. This clandestine locale that has been our family retreat for the past two years has suffered a mighty blow. The family to whom the stewardship of this inspiring place has been granted is left with the ashes of its former glory. They have become like our own family in the past few years. Given of themselves and their beautiful land so that we might have a place to come together and be hopeful and inspired. Family is non-negotiable. By it's very definition we were making plans to help even before we realized it.

Even a tree licked by fire can bear new fruit.
Even the blackest hillsides will be green once again.
Even the most tarnished of fountains will spring to life with waters that rejuvenate our bodies and souls once again.

By giving of ourselves to those who have given to us, Fuente Eterno will live once again.


To that end the pre-sales of tickets to Fuente Eterno begin on November 1st, 2007. We do this in the hopes that those who are able to help, can do so by purchasing tickets early, or by making a donation on the Fuente Eterno site. With the funds collected we will be purchasing materials and leading a rebuilding effort in the canyon the week of Thanksgiving. Should you desire to come and help, you would be welcomed. Imagine being able to sit in the splendor of Guadalupe Canyon in March with the knowledge that the place would not be as it is without you. Recognizing your heart in the waters and the trees. We understand that this is but one portion of the larger picture of the fires that have ravaged our backyards. Already we have begun making efforts to direct relief to these places from our ability to have our retreats. This is one instance where you can make a solid difference and give back to the place that has given to us.

From the flame we are eternal.
From the ashes we are reborn.
