from the Ninth Wave Arts caretakers

The season of change is upon us.

As the leaves fall and the ground turns cold, we find ourselves in step with the cycle, embracing a change of our own. We are now at home in our new digs at 4596 Carp Road, tucked gently into the land here, with blessings from the crew at Ecowellness. Our sign greets you from the road, and our dragon greets you once you enter—don’t worry, she’s friendly. :)

The land is giving away its secrets now. As the trees go bare, they reveal the squirrels’ nests, ready for winter, and as the plants wilt back, they show us where small critters have been busy over the warmer months. And still, the fallen leaves keep a blanket of mystery, holding some secrets close.

The final bee was seen not long ago, a holdout, determined to make the most of every moment. Snow has already shown herself to us, though she has not yet chosen to linger. This is the time of darkness, an opportunity to steep in that which needs tending.

Many offerings are on hand to support this through our gifts at Ninth Wave Arts. May you find what serves you.

Ninth Wave Arts is located in Carp, Ontario, at the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre — surrounded by forest, field, and stone. We work within the realities of this place. We shovel snow, stack wood, notice the weather, and tend the space we gather in. We aim to be good neighbours — to the people nearby, to the wildlife passing through, and to the changing seasons that shape our days.
