Dancing In The Moonlight - The Zeno Spirit
Have you ever had breakfast across from someone wearing a princess costume, spent the afternoon sliding through the woods on a 200-foot slide into a pond, turned dishwashing into a party, or stripped off your clothes to lie in a storm? Welcome to Zeno Mountain Farm, where we put as much energy into having fun as most people put into work. Where having fun is the work. Where everything we do implies seriously thinking through how everyone, with and without disabilities, can participate in the meaningful things of life: eating with friends, jamming on instruments, shaving outside, attending open-air concerts, making plays and movies, and even windsurfing in a wheelchair. What Will Halby and his family started as a small film camp in California has become a year-round community in Vermont, where all bodies and minds are represented on stage and on screen, participating in life to the fullest of their abilities. It is free, secular, and grounded in friendship and common sense: we all have needs that must be met—so let’s take it to another level.
