| The sun rises early, and doesn't set until late this time of year, bringing change to the landscape once again. The creek slows down, and the grasses start to turn the hillsides golden. The birds are chittering away, and the bees are keeping busy. Wilbur has a special way of illuminating the ever changing cycles of life so that we may reflect upon them in our own lives. For Wilbur Residents, summer time means slowing down, finding ways to keep cool, and staying aware of the dangers summertime can bring. It also means fun in the sun and the perfect time for mindful movement.
Join us on the Yoga Deck this summer for various yoga, movement, and meditation programs. We humbly thank each of our programmers for giving their time to the community. Check out our special events page to stay up to date on our latest offerings. You won't want to miss the chance to enjoy the Yoga Deck during the warmer months!
Remember to stay hydrated, and I hope to see you soon.

| | Switching Gears with the Season Change |
| Over the past few months, we have began to grow a community of work-traders. We've done numerous projects, from building beaver dams and clearing fire fuel, to invasive removal and habitat clean up. With each group, we've taken meaningful bites off of much larger scale projects. During April and May, our work groups installed a total of 12 stick and mud dams, and at least 6 rock dams! This progress is encouraging and we hope to pick the pace up even more once the rains begin returning in the late fall. With the tributaries drying up, the plan is to switch gears a bit and look to the hills. This June we are planning to give the trails some much needed love. Once the established trails are groomed, we'll begin work on a brand new trail starting near the long term parking lot! If your interested in being involved in this opportunity, or just staying up to date on what's happening, please join our Stewardship Work-Trade List. As community relationships expand and deepen, more ideas and opportunities become available. It truly is inspiring to see it all start coming together.
In other exciting news, Wilbur has begun closely working with Amy Green, a long term guest who has stepped up to the plate as beekeeper! It's been wonderful to begin establishing a connection with Amy who is deeply knowledgeable about the bees, and such a joy to be around. During one of her last visits, she re-queened our hives to help protect the genetic pool from developing aggressive behaviors. We are beyond appreciative of the initiative and devotion Amy brings to the table, and are thrilled to have her caring for our hives.

| An Invitation from Dr. Richard Miller
Many of you recall that during my 48-year tenure as owner of Wilbur Hot Springs, I sent weekly newsletters announcing upcoming guests on my radio program, Mind Body Health and Politics. Every week, I host a forum to engage with critical issues that influence our lives and the world. These discussions feature prominent national authorities, scientists, and best-selling authors exploring the intricate relationship between our mental, physical, and societal well-being. I trust you will join me once again by subscribing to the Mind Body Health & Politics newsletter. While you’re there, drop a comment with your favorite memory of Wilbur. See you in the waters! Golden light, Dr. Richard L. Miller |
