Video Tour of Shilo

TAKE A VIDEO TOUR OF OUR DOINGS...

 

Sean Dominic Kramer painted this large Sri Yantra on the Shilo Community Barn as an offering to the visual landscape of Shilo Farm.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS PROJECT

The inspiration came to Jonas Zev and Amylyn Amberger to have a Sri Yantra painted on the door of their Community Barn.  They have already made their barn, and their whole property, at Shilo Farm into a sacred space.  The barn houses a beautiful common area for meditation, yoga, ping-pong, and a variety of classes.  Shilo Farm is also a place for visitors to stay in peaceful rooms for BnB getaways or retreat.  Jonas and Amylyn are transforming their land into a place for the surrounding community and guests from afar to be with nature and fellow humans in creative and healing and loving ways.  They felt that the ancient symbolism of the Sri Yantra would be a suitable portal for those entering this place of blessed energy.

 

 The Seacoast community building our first Cob Oven. All materials, sans the fire brick & construction sand (for the mold) were harvested from the property. The foundation was created from found stones and dry fit to create a solid base. The clay was harvested from tree wells in the back woods. Mixed with sand and chopped hay, we created the dual wall system. Since its creation 3 years ago, it has made over 500 pizzas and nourished the community on a multitude of levels.

Stay tuned for the rebuild. Coming this Spring, we will be rebuilding the oven, as it is showing signs of wear.
