My Nonprofit Reviews

Echo Valley has offered me an opportunity to step back from the demands of everyday life, slow down, and become familiar with what I so often neglect-myself. I have visited Echo Valley several times. It is quite unique indeed. A few years ago Dena Eckles the owner showed me an area on the property that she envisioned to be an outdoor amphitheater. I stared out at tall grass, thickets, and mud. Now each year in August the Widenining the Circle concert occurs on this very site which is now a beautiful amphitheater. Much effort and progress has been made to develop Echo Valley's somewhat rugged terrain, so that guests can navigate easily and safely. Yet just as much care has been taken to insure that development has not occurred at the expense of the land. Echo Valley's natural beauty and purity remain intact. In addition to enjoying time for myself on quiet walkways, and in addtion to enjoying the music of various artists who have performed at Echo Valley, other opportunities abound. I have listened to different speakers talk about organic farming and gardening. I have watched videos of Prem Rawat speaking about a way to experience peace within myself. I have enjoyed the simple pleasure of participating with other volunteers to ready Echo Valley for the Widening the Circle concert. I have only scratched the surface. Echo valley offers much more. Activities and events planned in the near future can be found on their website: echovalleyhope.org. Bottom line: Sometime treat yourself to a visit to Echo Valley. Slow down for a day or two and just enjoy.
