From our backyard, and without professional pretension or equipment, we recorded some images of the Eclipse and made a short video that we would like to share with you all.
In the north of Vermont, the Solar Eclipse was total - it attracted 160 thousand people to the State! Here in Weston we got 98% of totality and it just felt like a great gift as well. It was a special moment, an invitation to pause and contemplate.

| Beginning in mid-December 2023, the Green Mountain National Forest which abuts our Priory land began a forest management cutting to enhance animal habitats and promote healthy forest land. A side benefit for us was the renewed view of the mountains to the west of the Priory. |

Here at the Priory we are blessed with many gifts that Nature brings us through every season. Even when we interact with it - growing flowers and vegetables, caring for animals and the grounds - ultimately all is pure gift. To watch the 6 min video, please click this link.
