Susan Gale

Susan, worked and studied at A Place of Light since 2003. All my life I have created spaces where people can learn and grow. In the work I do now at A Place of Light, I hold a space where people can discover who they are by listening to their inner voice and learn to hold onto that life no matter what life serves them. Having walked that way of life for a number of decades myself through struggles and heartbreak as well as walking beside others doing the same, I know how to create an environment where you can find your own way to the same peace.

“As a residential employee, Menla is a beautiful place to live. Work doesn’t feel like work when surrounded by the natural beauty of upstate New York. The co-workers are all caring and dedicated, and form a community, rather than a workplace. I am grateful to make my home in such an environment of compassion and peace, and to make a living here as well.”

Wyatt Foxe

“The program was extremely well-oiled, and I’m already thinking about attending next year’s event. Moreover, the lush campgrounds, spa services, friendly staff, and delicious vegetarian meals helped complete a well-rounded, inspirational experience. A thousand thank yous.”

Rochelle Livingston

“Of all the places I have traveled for retreats, Menla is the BEST!”
