The Shenandoah Project
"We shall never cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time." -- T. S. Elliot
We gather together the top folks of our craft in the beautiful setting of the Shenandoah National park and spend seven days together, pushing the limits of the Art of the Sword to the very depth of our understanding. In the evening we sit around the fireplaces, and campfires enjoying the warmth of the camaraderie found in the sharing of ideas and knowledge of the Sword and the Pen. At the end of our time together we will publish our decade of work.
