What We Offer Our Guests
The opportunity to enjoy our second home, which we have developed over the last 40 years for when we visit from California to see family and friends in the UK. We use Cedar Gardens a few weeks in the spring and again in the fall.
About 6 years ago we decided we wanted to share Cedar Gardens with others who sought a natural and peaceful environment in which to revitalize their spirit.
Our philosophy is that when we lower our personal stress, life is more enjoyable, and we increase our ability to partner with others to achieve our purposes.
The comments provided in the Cedar Gardens guestbook, highlights of which are available on a tab on the home page, speak for themselves.

Utilizing our Creativity
Humankind throughout the ages has created what we call art in many forms. Art is a creation by the human spirit enabled by the knowledge and skills of the creator. The artist’s creativity comes not from their mental consciousness but from the guidance of their spiritual wisdom which can be viewed as a quiet inner voice that guides their outer actions. In our daily lives there are many mental noises that blind our ability to hear our personal inner wisdom and draw on it as a resource in guiding our actions. Many people choose to spend time doing yoga, tai chi or meditation to help still the outer noise and enable them to be awake to hearing their inner wisdom. Many seek forms of recreation in nature for the same purpose. Ernest Hemingway used to write on the seashore. He was most creative immersed in nature with the roar of the waves masking outer interruptions to his creative process.
Our ability to utilize our creativity by being awake to our inner wisdom is a fundamental capability for personally leading a happy, healthy and fruitful life.
