Look, I’m not going to beg you to save your own life.

To be honest this may not actually be a matter of life and death – the likelihood that I’m just being dramatic to get your attention is admittedly pretty high. But while you’re here staring at this screen, you might as well stick around. Pull up a chair and listen to the hummingbirds buzz your head on the way to their feeders.
I was just sitting here thinking about the passing of days, the spending of time, and how the unexamined life is mostly just exhausting.

Considering how much content in life that there is to consider and stress about and plan around and navigate through, at least there’s a great spot out here on the property to sit, think, and sort through the noise.

The Council of Juniper.

AND IT’S BEEN IMPROVED!

It’s a meditation spot. It’s a sitting spot. It’s a great place to chug morning coffee and for having an evening toke. It’s whatever you need it to be, and now it’s dialed in. We’ve got a more inviting entry, groovy mood lighting, and a much better spot to rest your rump near the dirt in the juniper shade and successfully avoid the noise of other human beings.

For the sake of pure transparency, here’s what we’re talking about:

• The Walkway: We wired the path with psychedelic mushroom lights. Hopefully it keeps you from breaking an ankle in the dark and gives your twitching, over-caffeinated cortex something mildly amusing to look at.
• New Bench & Cushions: There’s a new custom bench out there now. We even put down authentic corn husk cushions so you can literally ground your vibrating, caffeine-addled body back to the earth from whence you sprang!
• The Lighting: We bathed the whole area in ambient mood lighting. Hopefully, it won’t fry your night vision, but it does make the space look like a pleasant hallucination once the sun hits the deck.
• The Art: There are slabs of stone out there featuring actual art left by guests of A Spark in the Dark. Real, physical things made by human hands. Try not to ruin it, ya feel me?

So there you go! The new and improved Council of Juniper. This is your spot. Well… one of many. Bring your bonus cup out here in the morning, or sit here at dusk and watch Venus punch a glowing hole in the western sky. The Council of Juniper is always here, waiting for you to come sit and realize just how absurd our daily routines actually are.

So don’t just sit there, for crying out loud! Reserve a campsite. Come out to the desert. Bring your loved ones or just bring yourself. The juniper trees honestly don’t care if you show up.
But I highly recommend it.
