Dear {*{{{request.stUser.firstName}}~*~}*}
The 2027 summer Seraphim Blueprint Festival is beginning to fill up the Lotz Lodge at Black Mountain. There are still 39 spots remaining. See article below.
Some of you may remember that I have been waiting to receive ownership of a small property near the Sea of Galilee in Israel that my grandfather purchased from the Ottoman Empire in the 1920s. I have now received the deed to that land, and the Seraph wants us to put a time capsule there. The Seraph recently expanded this project, as he now wants time capsules placed in three countries: Israel, Australia, and Thailand. To that end, I had a Zoom call with the Thai Seraphim Blueprint teachers a few months back, and just in the past week heard from Thanakrit that they are working towards that goal in the hills of northern Thailand near Chiang Mai, in a place called Chiang Dao. Just yesterday I got the details about that land, now approved by the Seraph for our potential use. It really is fantastic! In Thanakrit's article below, click on the link at the bottom showing all the photos and specialness of the gift we are receiving.
Soon I would like to form a standing committee of those interested in actually building the time capsules, which will contain Seraphim Blueprint books and materials. If you have German, Japanese, and Thai translations of the Seraphim Blueprint book, you might think of donating those for this purpose, as some editions may be going out of print. If interested in being on this committee, please reply to this email.
I have received five eligible short stories for our third Short Story Prize contest with the deadline approaching on the last day of this year. I need to hear from anyone currently writing a short story. Please let me know so we can have a viable project. It is free to enter this contest. (see article below)
Today's featured video was taken on September 15th when the newest arrival on our property was 5 days old. Mama duck, however, didn't seem to know much about raising her baby, so after two weeks, and two scary events, I decided it was time for me to be a substitute mama. The duckling is now a month and a few weeks old. It weighs almost two pounds, and I will release it when it is big enough to deal with everything going on here. I believe it is a girl, so I am naming it Tinkerbell.
The audio version of the Seraphim Blueprint book is available.
Enjoy the Colors of Autumn

Time Capsule Planned for Chiang Dao, Thailand
Report from Thanakrit Chintavara, MD. Ph.D.
Seraphim Blueprint National Leader
We are delighted to introduce a proposed location for the Seraphim Blueprint Time Capsule in Thailand—Very Kind Village, Chiang Dao, Chiang Mai.
Nestled beneath the majestic Doi Luang Chiang Dao, Very Kind Village is envisioned as a community where people can reconnect with themselves, live with passion and purpose, and explore a “Very Kind Way to Live.” The project seeks to create a self-reliant community where creators and local people can grow together through a sustainable local ecosystem.
The village has generously offered a dedicated garden space for the Seraphim Time Capsule, alongside their first homestay and conceptual hotel. The capsule would become part of this emerging community while respecting and complementing the project's aesthetic and spirit. Very Kind Village Pamphlet
