Windermere Ranch Enters a New Era

After five years of expertly managing Windermere Ranch, Milo and LeiLani Page and family are moving to Fort Collins, Colorado. Their time at Windermere was impactful and transformative, laying a foundation for us to build upon for years to come. They oversaw and worked on significant improvements to the property infrastructure as well as landmark additions such as the labyrinth, kids' playground, guest bathrooms, garden revival, and the beautiful Quelin arch.

Milo and LeiLani’s work, seen and unseen, touches every aspect of ranch life. We are enormously grateful for how they shared their vision, gifts, and abilities, with dedication and loving, to bring Windermere to where it is today. Carol Chaffin, who has been a stalwart ambassador and valuable worker at Windermere, is also leaving the ranch.

Windermere’s mission statement is "to provide a place where people can experience peace and a greater attunement with nature and God." John-Roger gave us this mission and we are continually doing what we can to manifest it with the intention of building community and sustainability.

David and Ashley Whitaker (with their sons Noah and Elmer) and the eternal Ted Drake will continue to live at Windermere and hold the focus for building the Windermere community -- providing opportunities to experience the profound and healing peace of this land.

As a volunteer run organization, Windermere encourages community involvement in the daily operations of the ranch. There are gardens to plant, trails to build, houses to live in or visit, animals to nurture, and, of course, the beautiful land to experience from Quelin to Oak Glen to Top Rock.

We would love you to be involved and invite you to join us for a mega-barn cleanout and organization work party on Saturday, May 25th and Sunday, May 26th. RSVP click here.

If you are unable to attend the work party and still want to volunteer, email Windermere@iiwp.org with your name, phone number, and service interests.

Stay tuned for more information on Windermere Resident-Volunteer opportunities. If you feel called to live at the Windermere Ranch and wish to play a significant role in this exciting new chapter, please reply to this email and we’ll set up a time to connect.

The opportunity to be in peace is in every moment, in every choice. You come into peace first with yourself and then by sharing peace with others.
John-Roger, DSS

With love and peace,

Windermere Ranch Leadership Team
