WELCOME RETURNING
MONARCH BUTTERFLIES
Our Monarch Butterflies are making their annual appearance in the meadow enjoying a feast of milkweed, marking the middle of Summer!
Yes, even during the most challenging times (and these is certainly those) nature's beauty can serve to provide a modicum of balance!
We're celebrating 14 years as a welcoming & restorative place for men to relax and leave the outside world behind!

Mid-Summer Covid-19 Update
|
 |
| |
See details below about our "Bike for Equal Justice Initiative"!
|
When we last wrote a few weeks ago it seemed as though the COVID-19 virus was on a downswing.
Unfortunately, now we are seeing a resurgence of the virus around the country, and while the northeast has been less affected, the future is uncertain.
As indicated in our last newsletter, we are technically able to be open, however only to a limited number of counties within the New England states; New York; Pennsylvania; Ohio; New Jersey; Delaware; Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Virginia; and West Virginia. Residents of counties that have less than 400 active cases per million residents can come to Vermont without quarantining. Residents of counties with more than 400 active cases per million and of states not on the list of states above must quarantine in isolation for 14 days on arrival.

As a result of the above restrictions, we are required to screen all potential guests for their County of origin before accepting the booking. The county-by-county data is updated by the state of Vermont weekly each Friday. The progression of active cases is not necessarily linear. A booking that is allowed one week might be disallowed the next. Until there is a clear indication that there is a widespread and sustained decline in cases in the areas that most of our guests are coming from, we will not reopen.
Because of these restrictions, most of our existing reservations for August would not be allowed to come to Vermont without quarantining for 14 days in isolation. It is not feasible for us to be open under these conditions. We have pledged that we will not reopen until we feel it is safe for our guests, our employees and ourselves. We are not there yet. We are monitoring the situation closely and will absolutely reopen as soon as possible. If things improve soon it is possible we could reopen as soon as September. However, we do not feel that we can commit to a date at the present time.
We deeply appreciate the support and positive feedback Frog Meadow has gotten from many of you and stand by our commitment to survive this pandemic and to thrive into the future!
We look forward to reopening soon and hosting guests again - and having you with us. We miss you all and appreciate your continued understanding and support!

Stay Sane With Virtual Qi Gong, Tantra, Meditation & More!
|
|
With our Workshop & Retreats on hiatus we are pleased to coordinate interim ongoing virtual programs available through Adam Brown, Colby Smith and Christian de la Huerta...details are below!
|
| | Join Adam Brown for Virtual Chi Gong & Tantra every week! |
Weekly Men's ViGong* & Tantra Classes (*Virtual QiGong)
With Adam Brown of Heart-Centered Touch
The Virtual Men's QiGong & Tantra class focused on our wellness - Respiratory & Immune Strength - and on our continued erotic health while maintaining a consistent sense of community.
The Connection which we all have committed to over the years is threatened by social distancing. But, it only a pause, a re-set. We will be together again in person before too long. Meanwhile, we use technology to solidify that connection and share what we can during this disruptive time in our world. [Full Details]

| | Join Christian de la Huerta for virtual Soulful Breathwork and Guided Meditation! |
Soulful Breathwork & Guided Meditation
With Christian de la Huerta of Soulful Power
nd other essential workers who deliver our mail and packages, stock the grocery shelves, remove our trash-who place their lives on the line every day so that we can be safe and persevere.
But what about those of us required to stay within our homes. How do we embody and express the path of Soulful Heroes?
We go within. This time of quarantine provides us with an unprecedented opportunity to go within like never before. We have the chance to look at all aspects of our life and determine where are we selling out on our soul's desires, giving away our power, not living to our fullest potential and purpose. Now is the time to do the heroic work of going within and to get clear about who we are and what has real relevance and importance in our lives, so that we can bring forth those values when we emerge from this mandatory global cocoon. What kind of lives do we choose for ourselves, what kind of world do we create on the other side of this collective reset? Toward that end, and as a way to support you during that process of exploration and discovery in these uncertain times, check out his Eye of the Storm Resources with guided meditations, breathing practices to calm the mind and strengthen the immune system, and links to our virtual gatherings where adventurers of spirit meet to recenter, reconnect and rejuvenate. Creating an oasis amidst the pervasive collective fear, these sessions will help you take a deep breath and feel supported on your path of personal evolution as we explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities of this time.

"Consistent excellence year over year!"
"I visit Frog Meadow at least twice a year. There is always lots to do in every season, both on the property and in the area around it. It is tranquil and relaxing, off the grid in total comfort.
Typically the other guests are laid back, friendly guys. Not a venue for the high maintenance. The food is always delicious. The rooms are spotless and comfortable.
The owners have operations down to a science, allowing them to run a full house smoothly and efficiently and with attention to detail.
This place is a gem!"
- Scott B., Toronto, CANADA
