Dear Kwai,
It is a miracle for sure! The area where we were going to build the Labyrinth in Shekhinah's name and the Peace Pole still stands. No lives were lost in the fire and we are all o.k. Thank you for your concern. Could you please forward this to my Radical Fairy friends. Thanks
Blessings to you,
Elena

Dear friends and family,
Thank you all for your love and support to me and for WindTree in regards to the Summit fire in
the Santa Cruz Mountains. This has been a very difficult time being in the 40 mile winds and
watching WindTree surrounded in flames and knowing many of my nearby neighbors had already lost
their homes. I got the call around 6 a.m. that Maymens Flats was on fire. I went to wake up my
guest in another cabin and led her out towards Watsonville. I needed to get to a neighbor who was
without transportation and phone. Her 6 year old son has asthma and can not be around smoke. We
went back up to WindTree and she got my truck to evacuate her dogs. At around 9 a.m. Janet came
up through Watsonville and found me on the road about 5 miles south of WindTree. She was
determined to get to WindTree for her ATV. So we walked back up into the mountains to get the ATV
out passing fire trucks and blazes along the way. Crazy! When
we got there, fire was flaming up the Goddess trail by the TeePee which was in flames, all around the
Medicine wheel and behind the Critter cabin fire was flooding that canyon space. By this time my
neighbors home to the left and trailers were burnt to the ground. It was all unbelievable. I was in
shock and couldn't think what to grab. Not much time left so we got on the ATV and raced out. Later
we decided to go back up the mountain as my neighbor with the dogs only could get 3 of her 5
animals out. Flying past fire crews and flames jumping the road we made it to their house but the
dogs were too scared and we couldn't get them out from under the house. We had to leave as our hearts
were ponding and flames ripping. By the end of the day I thought that WindTree was burned to the
ground. Again Janet and I decide to go back to WindTree to just see what was up. When I got to the
driveway Boulder Creek fire fighters were stretched out exhausted and Many of the buildings were
still standing! I was in such a state of gratitude for their valiant effort to save the main buildings. Firefighters are the best.
Both my neighbors living to the right had lost everything. It looked like a war zone. Although some of the cabins burned to the ground, it truly is a miracle that much of WindTree is still there.
Although things could change with fire for days, I am even more convinced that WindTree is a holy
sacred place. Thank you again for all your prayers and love. You are powerful and it all has helped.
Love and in gratitude,
Elena
