Your Resource for Natural Living

 

Believing that the human spirit has a deeply rooted need to grow and evolve,
The Natural Living Institute offers hands on
experiential classes and events that
directly focus upon this need. Through developing a unique gathering of like-minded people who are dedicated to working closely with various community organizations
and nationally known teachers of conscious leadership, we have established the
four
main ideals of the Natural Living
Institute.  

Grandma's Farm believes that STRENGTH through GOOD HEALTH
comes from a diet of
naturally grown produce, fresh air, and exercise. All of
these and more are available to you through the gardens at Grandma's Farm.


    Some of the benefits that you will experience include:


         Enjoying the many colorful flower gardens

 

         Naturally Grown Produce (seasonal)

 

         An example of a wind generated drip irrigation system

        
Two types of Greenhouses
-one created from a pit silo the second
         created from a barn (construction on these will begin as soon as the clubhouse
             remodel is complete
).


         
Greenhouses offering year round local produce (not yet open)

         
Once the Greenhouses are complete we will offer Natural Food and
         Horticultural Classes

HOPE through SPIRITUAL WISDOM is the driving force behind every
activity that is and ever will be offered through Grandma’s Farm.  We feel that
through spiritual wisdom, all things are possible.  Operating from the belief that
Spirituality is a fundamental necessity for a happy and healthy lifestyle, we will
offer classes and events that focus upon inspiring individuals to
connect with their divine human potential.  With this as our main goal we recognize that every
religion is a pathway
to the creator and encourage everyone to join us in cele-
brating our diversities in a way that
benefits all life everywhere.


     Spiritually focused events currently being offered at Grandma's Farm:

 
        
GRANDMA’ S GROUP is a gathering of like-minded people who come
         together to
teach, share, and discuss our experiences with one another,
         creating a
Spiritual family.  Click on the EVENTS button for a more
         detailed description about Grandma’s Group, or click on the CALENDAR

         Grandma's Farm offers
SPECIALIZED CLASSES, LECTURES,
         DISCUSSION COURSES, AND WORKSHOPS
dealing with all areas of
         Spirituality. We are currently making contacts for
future plans of bringing                         nationally and internationally known teachers, such as Amag, a spiritual
         leader from Mexico City, to Grandma's Farm.  We are very excited about
         the insights that each of these gifted teachers offer and will work diligently
         to
bring them and their messages to you.  As teachers are booked, and
         classes are developed we will post them on our
CALENDAR and EVENTS
        
pages.  Please check them regularly.

INTUTIVE SPIRITUAL COUNSELING - Many of you know me as
         Cindy Siebler
, my given name.  Some of you know me as Moon Light
         Dancing
, my Spiritual name.  Ever since I was a small child around the
         age of 5, I knew that I was not of this third dimensional realm and have
         spent my entire life discovering where it is that I truly do come from.
         Wanting to understand the Spirit within and its connection to all life
         everywhere, I have found
Spiritual Truths. I call these truths “Simply
         Profound”
as I have discovered that, in most cases, it is exactly how they
         work in my life…Simply and Profoundly.

         Working with these truths has placed me upon my Spiritual path. It is my
         hope and blessing for each of you to find these and apply them in your
         lives as well. Because of this, I will be offering
a series of workshops
         which I call
“Dancing with the Moon”.  These will cover the fundamentals
         as well as some of the advanced teachings I have been honored to receive
         from, not only my physical teachers, but those who come to me on the
         inner levels as well.  It is part of my life’s purpose to help people connect
         with their inner wisdom and guidance.  Because of this, I do what I call

         “Intuitive Spiritual Counseling”
where I use my spiritual understandings
         and gifts to help people connect with their own Simply Profound Truths.


         These counseling sessions, also referred to as
Readings, are a very
         precious
part of my spiritual service work.   If you would like more
         detailed information about my
spiritual counseling, please contact me
         either by phone or E-mail, and I will be glad to talk to you on a more

         personal level
.

JOY through SELF EXPRESSION is easy to find at Grandma’s Farm.
It is everywhere.  We encourage artists to come and share their artistic abilities
in a variety of ways.  If you are interested in teaching a class or attending one,
call or E-mail Grandma's Farm at any time.  As these classes and events are developed, we will post them on our
CALENDAR and EVENTS pages. Please
check them regularly.

     In the fall of 2003, we saw the need for an ACOUSTIC MUSIC forum in
     the Wichita area, so we began our once a month acoustic music jam. 
     Everyone is welcome to come and
enjoy a total sensory evening, in the
     country, under the stars, by the campfire, listening to wonderful acoustic
     music.  Or perhaps your idea of heaven is to be playing the music not just
     listening.  At Grandma’s Farm we have the
very best of both pickers and
     grinners
.  The fun starts about DARK-THIRTY, be sure to bring your
     instruments and some snacks to share.
 
               

See YOU around the campfire. 


     One of the most popular events at Grandma's Farm is our DRUMMING
     CIRCLE
.  The drumming circle is a very ancient and sacred experience
     It is a time to come together as a community and express our personal and
     collective gratitude for Earth.  We
drum and sing praise and gratitude
     for all the beauty and bounty that mother earth freely offers to all the life she
     supports.  Everyone is asked to
bring drums, rattles, and flutes as well as
     snacks to share
.

We realize that every aspect of Grandma's Farm is important for personal
growth and transformation.  However, we feel that our
EARTH KEEPING activities are perhaps the most necessary for this time in human history.  
So, it is with
heartfelt thanks for the Great Plains Earth Institute’s support,
both emotional and collaborative, that has been an invaluable resource for
Grandma's Farm.  Drawing upon Great Plains Earth Institute’s
years of wisdom
and guidance
,
together, with the resources of Grandma’s Farm, we are
developing
programs that not only teach and inform but actively includes the
participants
, showing them that being in tune with nature instead of against it
is more in harmony with
our natural state of being.

 

     Our collaborating efforts include:

 
        
Classes, Discussion Courses, Lectures, and Videos that focus upon 

         tools and resources for a more natural harmonious lifestyle.

 
         Developing experiential programs like
Wild Crafting and Earth
         Therapy
and Bee Keeping with Grandma's Farm’s own hives.

 

         Installing Wind Turbines as one of the main sources of power for
         the farm

 
          
Opening the MERCANTILE, a retail shop offering a variety of
       
earth friendly products.

 

           A major focus for Grandma’s Farm and Great Plains Earth Institutes
        collaboration is
to encourage innovative individuals and organiz-
        ations
that are interested in creating experimental stations
        throughout the farms natural environments. The areas of
research
        and
development
that are of most interest at this time are natural
        alternatives necessary for food production, earth friendly energy
        systems, and green building
.  It is through this expanded collaboration
        that,
together, we will invent new systems capable of improving the
        quality of life for generations to come as well as preserve Earth’s

        natural resources
.
  These various working models will then become
       
educational opportunities for all who come to Grandma’s Farm. 

    
There will be many opportunities for volunteers as we develop, design,
     and build
examples of experimental Earth friendly technologies and green
     buildings.

Grandma’s Farm is an experiential educational forum offering learning
opportunities for all people. Classes and activities are also being developed
for the elderly and handicapped.                     

 

We at Grandma's Farm believe that, once people begin to realize their
connection to a whole that extends throughout all of creation
, they develop
a deeper connection not only with their immediate relationships but also those
they experience out in their community and eventually the entire planet.  Through
a partnership with the Natural Living Institute,
personal transformations will
occur
, such as a deeper sense of self-awareness, the confidence in self-reliance
and the acceptance of responsibility for all of their actions.  It is these positive,
life affirming belief systems that will not only attract people but will keep them
coming back.  We will always be
open to the insights and suggestions of our participants, developing ongoing relationships of growth.
