Hello Bungalowistas! My blog is back!

Hi everybody. It’s the 4th of July and I just missed the fireworks. I hope you are having a safe and happy weekend. Welcome summer!

I’ve been studying blogging and boy is it interesting. If you want to learn about it yourself, visit this Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Blog on YouTube. I’ve written the first three chapters of my book. I am now editing what I have written. Lots of Writing and rewriting. If you think blogging is fun, try writing a book. That’s really fun. I feel like the book is writing me…in a way.

Anyway, I have a new overview. Here it is.

Do you have a neighbor whose garden you’ve always admired? Do you wonder how they made it so? Have you ever wished you had time to relax, take a breath and recharge? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need this book. DESIGNING THE BUNGALOW GARDEN:  HOW TO CREATE GARDENS AND LIVES ROOTED IN SPIRIT is a how-to garden design book. It is based on the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement. Step-by-step, Beaudry will guide you to create your garden sanctuary.  

With tools for deep reflection, you will develop your own personal connection to Nature. This is a connection that will keep you centered and grounded, even if the world around you feels chaotic. We all have dreams of a better life. Wouldn’t you like to manifest your own dream?

DESIGNING THE BUNGALOW GARDEN:  HOW TO CREATE GARDENS AND LIVES ROOTED IN SPIRIT presents a comprehensive explanation of the garden design process. It provides hands-on tools that beginners and professional alike can use to create exquisite gardens that harmonize with their environment. 

DESIGNING THE BUNGALOW GARDEN:  HOW TO CREATE GARDENS AND LIVES ROOTED IN SPIRIT explores the bungalow, one of America’s favorite Craftsmen style homes, and its relationship to the Arts and Crafts movement. This mid 19^th century movement arose in rebellion to the industrial revolution. Its founders advocated for healthier working conditions for the middle class and a restoration of dignity to factory workers. They sought better lives for people; lives with a connection to nature and thereby, to a rich inner life. They called this “the spirit of life”. 

That impulse for a connection to the spirit of life is alive today. One hundred and fifty years later, the technological revolution is robbing us of our time. Everything that is supposed to make our lives easier— PDAs, texting, paperless transactions—have only sped up our lives. All of this leaves us little time to slow down and re-energize. 

DESIGNING THE BUNGALOW GARDEN:  HOW TO CREATE GARDENS AND LIVES ROOTED IN SPIRIT is filled with templates for bungalow gardens, regional plant lists, green material suggestions, and meditations that help you center and ground. It’s chock full of inspiring images and diagrams that explain the design process in full detail. 

With this book, you will learn how to design your own backyard sanctuary. Whether you own a bungalow or any style home, you can use DESIGNING THE BUNGALOW GARDEN:  HOW TO CREATE GARDENS AND LIVES ROOTED IN SPIRIT to craft your back yard into a place to spend time with family and friends, to entertain, and to live a life in relationship with the natural world. It is in the rhythms of the natural world where we find the connection to our true nature. With Beaudry’s unique blend of garden wizardry and spiritually based practice, you can escape from the grip of everyday life and bring your dream of a better life to reality. 

Beaudry is a Reiki Master Healer, a Shamanic practitioner, and a spiritual evolutionary. He uses techniques from these modalities to deepen his own connection to the earth and to guide others to connect with nature.
