Years ago I spent time @ Barter fairs in Tonasket/Okanogan. Enjoying life... instilling value in my young children. I picked up your DVD @the Health Store in Tonasket--traveling alone. I will for sure share your story/Dvd w. others! So many disa-illusioned w. economy and world affair. Thanks You for presenting this! I really appreciated the real people! Real issues! Be well!

Imagine "reuniting" here with friends regarding a film about us - who woulda thunk it! (Concetta, you are hilarious - my "funny name" being Whispering Pine) - blessings to all and thanks for the memories.

We received your DVD "Back to the Garden..." today. I could not wait to watch it so I got up early and enjoyed it. I laughed and cried, my heart was warmed and I was saddened and happy. It is a great video. thank you for your effort. I will share it with my Texas hippy biker friends.
I think that it will have a very profound message to everyone in the US over the next 5-10 years as the world is changing and we are all headed Back to the Garden whether we want to or not...

Regards,
Bill Crittenden

...Well crafted, insightful storyline, strong editing and magical cinematography. The folks you interviewed come alive as real people. Hollywood would be hard pressed to portray these people as convincingly. I wish you well a the upcoming film festivals. Regards, Dave

We saw Back to the Garden...the images stay with you long after the final credits roll. Fascinating subject and I thought the treatment of the subject and subjects-a wonderful panolply of people-was done with great sensitivity and great generosity. That kind of generosity is rare. You should be proud to have made such a beautiful film and made it so beautifully too. I look forward to seeing more such docs from you. Victoria Blackman

In the late 70's I met people from the Antakarana Circle in Manson Wa. on Lake Chelan where I was picking apples.I made a srong connection with these people and naturally gravitated to the land up in Chesaw,Wa.Looking back it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life and I still miss those people who I became close to.It was so nice to see One Pine,Tanya and Skeeter on the videoand it brought back some nice memories.I spent most of my time at the kid's kitchen not far from the cave and Elf's camp.During the healing gathering I did the sprouts,wheatgrass and sprouted wheat bread.It was a magical trip to say the least and I'm glad I was a part of it.I hope all is well with everyone and if anyone want to contact me i'd be more than happy to hear from you.I'm currently living in rural Pa my home state.peace & love gidge
