The sunsets/moonrises at St Christopher’s Mission were magnificent during the RWI board’s visit. Between hikes to the top of the mesa above the site (thank you for being our guide, Joe!) and moonrise photo shoots, we never missed a moment to enjoy the serenity and gloriousness of this historic place that has been serving the Navajo since the 1940s. We are glad to be part of its renewal.

As part of our time at St. Christopher’s Mission, we were invited to celebrate with Kathy Plummer, retired minister and longtime resident of St. Christopher’s Mission, at a key moment in her house build “across the river” in the Navajo Reservation. She has waited decades to be able to build a home on the ancestral grazing land of her clan, and with the invaluable help of the mission’s current vicar, Joe Hubbard, is finally seeing it happen. The architecture graduate students @designbuildbluff, who designed the house and are building it by hand, made a presentation about their process, and we got to hear from Kathy and her family about the importance of this event and the stories associated with the land. Honored to have been part of it.

Maintenance is key to longevity of historic places. The retreat house at St Christopher’s Mission needed a new coat of sealant to keep its fascia and eaves resilient under the hot and dry SE Utah conditions, and the RWI board was happy to oblige while we were on site this week. #RWIvolunteerstories #volunteervacation #volunteertourism #historicpreservation #historicrestoration #stchristophersmission #bluffutah
The RWI board helped move the Mission’s large collection of books and some bookshelves from the old schoolhouse (soon to be food pantry and bunk house) into the historic Retreat House. A cozy result and now more accessible to everyone coming through the space. #RWIvolunteerstories #volunteervacation #volunteertourism #historicpreservation #historicrestoration #stchristophersmission #bluffutah
Bichli Haveli Project
#bichlihaveliproject
Restoration projects suck up resources and energy faster than one can replenish! Deep gratitude to RWI volunteers whose visits infused the haveli and the crew with their spirit and positivity✨ whose support, in so many forms, has carried the project so far and kept the dream alive ✨
**Do reach out if you’d like to #volunteer with the project after the pandemic subsides**

Managing and moving large stones whole so that they can be repurposed is a big job around here..

Beauty is never just skin-deep! The Bichli Haveli too offers more than surface decoration- encountered here are layered planes and mathematical rhythms in space- 3 in 3 in 3 compositions. There is no other way in the haveli- only creative #slowliving that is as much a discovery of space as it is about yourself.

I’d like to share some sad news, especially for my friends who have been with me on one of the many trips I’ve led to the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, with restorationworksinternational , to work on the restoration of the century’s old Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Chairro gompa.
The beautiful neighboring village of Tukche was recently devastated by unprecedented monsoon rains. This picture shows Lama Sashi and myself in front of Sashi’s ancestral home in Tukche, several years ago.
If you would like to learn more and contribute to the rebuilding efforts see the GoFundMe link in my bio.
Namaste friends! #chhairogompa #tukche #nepal #himalayas #gofundme #tibetanbuddhist #mustangnepal #mustangregion

Proud to have led this fine group of 8 dedicated volunteers to Udaipur, India to work with restorationworksinternational on the restoration of a centuries old Haveli, repurposing it into a community and heritage center that supports migrant woman laborers and will provide a place to make and sell traditional Rajasthani arts and crafts made and sourced locally. Here we are on day one, along with our construction supervisor, taking a much needed break on the front stoop of the Bichli Haveli, Udaipur, India. #preservation #historicpreservation #restoration #historicpreservation #india #udaipur #restorationworksinternational #communitydevelopment #bichlihaveliproject #internationaldevelopment #globalheritage #oneworld #rwivolunteerstories #volunteer #volunteervacations #ngo #nonprofit #philanthropy #dogood #socialgood #giveback #payitforward #karma
