Sacred Rocks Reserve

(Photo by Susanne Barrett)

On Thursday, August 6, the MECAC Board of Directors Judith Dupree, Dianne Holly, Tony Nash, Marshall Chapman, and Susanne Barrett held their monthly meeting at Sacred Rocks Reserve in Boulevard. An RV park and campground currently, the owners of Sacred Rocks are planning to shift the reserve to an Artists Colony as the mainstay of their 160-acre property with only 20-some acres developed. Beautiful rock formations, 400-500 year-old oak trees, wildlife, a 100-foot diameter labyrinth, and a salt water pool and hot tub are currently on the property, as well as eight "green" vacation cabins for rental or purchase. Sharon Courmousis, one of the owners, gave us MECAC'ers the "grand tour" of the grounds which are simply incredible, and her vision of an Artists Colony is spectacular and much-needed.

Feel free to contact Sacred Rocks for a day retreat or for a more lengthy stay in gorgeous and inspirational surroundings that will release the artist in YOU!

Keep your eye on the Sacred Rocks blog as well as the website for some exciting artistic opportunities coming up this fall, most of which will be posted to this blog as well.
