The architect alchemy has transformed our original plans, evolving wish list, arm waving, and long discussions of Ekone's programs, values, aesthetics, and practical needs into the next evolution of design work.
We're so excited to share it with the world!!

Our design team met over this past glorious weekend to "ground-truth" the initial plans. Standing in the site, "walking through" the building, and imagining it bursting with friends was so exciting. We made a bunch of changes - which we'll tell you all about on the zoom call!

We're still planning on breaking ground in the spring of 2021 with occupancy in 2022, pandemic and all.
The journey of Covid-19 has just confirmed and emphasized the vital importance of what happens at Ekone Ranch. The experience of inclusive community, deep connection to place, and all the natural learning that is available here--this kind of experience is essential to our health and happiness, and brings out the best of us. The world needs our best, and Ekone needs to be ready to provide healing, fortitude, and skills in the aftermath of Covid and the challenges beyond.
So yes, we're moving forward.

With the tremendous accomplishment of the Bunkhouse under our belts, and such an amazing community of people who believe in Ekone's work, we're pretty dang sure we'll succeed.

We'll sure need you to stick with us to make it happen, though. It's definitely a weird time to be halfway through a capital campaign, and your continued support will be essential to keeping Saddle Up! on the trail. You can always make a donation Here, to the address below, or by reaching out for a conversation.
That's enough for today--but we'll be in touch again soon, with more details about where we're at in the fundraising portion of the Saddle Up! adventure, what's coming next, and what we need help with.

Be safe and brave out there, dears. We'll be enjoying a meal together before we know it. Meanwhile, we wish you inspiring and hopeful projects to usher you into winter.
♥ The Saddle Up! trail bosses.
