Greetings All,
Winter has settled in at the Ranch for the season with a blanket of snow tucking all in for a much needed time of rest and rejuvenation. Snow came early this year, in mid-September, with a few subsequent weeks of crisp, cool, azure-blue skied days and golden quaking aspens.
That brief respite from the frigid gave us just enough time to get the new water line in the ground. It required everyone pitching in to finish the work just ahead of another incoming winter snowstorm, but we managed to get all of the lines laid! Big thanks to Josh, Winter, Mike, J.B., Chris and the rest of our big-hearted Feathered Pipe family, including all of you who supported us with a generous donation or by
attending a retreat this past summer at the Ranch.
 We are in the final home stretch of our fundraising campaign with only a little over $10,000 remaining to reach our goal for the year. Your kind giving is such a welcome affirmation that what we have been doing all these years with a small group
of 'just crazy enough to believe' committed souls has, and continues to have, an impact on manifesting the world community we know is possible.
Everything that we have created and shared over the years is an expression of love and faith from our communal heart, and emanates from the land itself. These months of hibernation and stillness are essential for the Ranch's own regeneration to prepare for a new season of life and giving.
Please accept our sincere and profound appreciation for your continued support and belief in us.
Share the Holiday Spirit with Feathered Pipe Stocking Stuffers
 In the spirit of the season, we are offering a few premiums that might inspire you to give and share the Feathered Pipe spirit with others. We are happy to be offering three one-of-a-kind stocking-stuffer premiums for your kind donation:
- Our legendary, time-tested Feathered Pipe cookbook
- A pair of thick, porcelain 'perfect cup of coffee' Feathered Pipe mugs with the Feathered Pipe logo on the front, and long-time, dear friend Lilias Folan's motto "Joy is in the Journey" on the back
- A colorful, just-right-for-the-baking-season Feathered Pipe apron featuring a tranquil Feathered Pipe Lake Tipi screen-printed image
For a $100 donation, you get your choice of any one of the three premiums. For a $250 donation, you get your choice of any two. And for $500, you get all three premiums. What a deal!
Direct from the Feathered Pipe Kitchen
 For those eager to celebrate and savor the holiday spirit in the most festive and flavorful of ways, master chefs Winter and Mike will bake a Feathered Pipe dessert for eight and freeze ship it right to your door. For those whose mouths are starting to
water, this along with all three other premiums is available for your donation of $1000.
We hope that the season finds you and your families well, and reminds us all that we truly do need each other, that through communication, understanding and compassion, we are enriched, and enabled to accomplish so much more than we could ever do alone.
Season’s greetings from the Feathered Pipe,
Eric D Myers

Emulating the Qualities of Water – Shannon Stephens
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, water is the root of life. This idea is reflected in nature and in our bodies. Water governs birth, development, and maturation. It’s is the most yin of all the elements, and there is great wisdom entrenched in it – wisdom in observing, reflecting, and drawing inward. This powerful, life-giving element is one that we can look to emulate each time we practice yoga.
