black walnut's final installment.....

THE FOUR (top of the ladder) ORGANIZERS: i've been at the woods 7 times in a row now. each time, the Woods was organized by a committee comprised of EVE GOLDBERG, SUE GOLDBERG, JUDITH LASKIN and GRIT LASKIN. together, this foursome brings enthusiasm, skill, talent, warmth, experience, thoughtfulness, commitment, quality, hard hard work involving long hours, and above all, a deep sense of vision, to the Woods. the reason so many of us rave about our Woods experience(s) is that it is not only a consistently excellent teaching and performance time, but that it is equally a place set apart for its 'intentional community'. the organizers have made provision so that throughout the week, be it in the daily community circle, or meal-times, or campfire, or party night...there be structured ways to ensure that all the campers have a few times and places to meet all together, as opposed to always in small groups. there is a sense of equality amongst us whether we come to the woods primarily as performer, amateur or audience, and this equality is nutured, not left to chance. thank you, so much, to eve, sue, judith and grit, for everything....
