Pan reserves - Monte Nido, California
For the several years I've owned this piece of land I have been
leaving it in its beautiful natural state and have invited a number of pantheistically
oriented friends to visit any time they want. I have longed to share it with anyone who
would appreciate it. In this sensorial way I hope to attract as many people's
attention as I can to nature's powerful, spiritual wonders.
I'm a third generation pantheist and want to share this uplifting
wonder as much as I can and, in a hopefully subtle way, spread the word of
pantheism. As a WPM member, to offer it on a much grander scale to all WPM members is very
exciting to me! I would love to meet you all!
The Pan Reserve is in the Santa Monica Mountains above
Malibu Beach and is surrounded by a large number of majestic California park areas that
have camping grounds, some very close to the Reserve. The Reserve itself has a small oak
tree forest, a seasonal stream, and a gorgeous view from its hills. It has many indigenous
animals living there, including a pair of ducks who have just flown in for their usual
summer season. At night there is a great span of clear sky for star and moongazing,
accompanied by the hooting of owls and orchestras of frogs. The assortment of indigenous
plants and animals there is wonderful, with private footpaths to walk and hills to hike. I
find myself in awe when I'm there at any time of the day or night.
I hope all the WPM members take this seriously as a Pan
Nature Reserve with an open invitation to visit at any time.
