April

.

Month of Farming – The Land,
The History of Farming and Animal Husbandry

Throughout the month of April, it’s all about connecting, with nature and each other, The focus is on preparing the soil for planting, getting the animals situated and examined. Checking all the food stores carefully. All indoor or outdoor crops are collected and made ready for sale and canning all seeds collecting and stored. Most gardens will be tilled and preparations are made ready and applied as prescribed.

Clubs are still in focus and the Events Calendar teams are meeting and preparing their schedules for the seasons to come. Spring is the time of year for cleaning and signing up for jobs, commitments and volunteering. None of this is possible without connecting with each other. The Events and Festivals teams along with Home Life are there to help you find the best way to connect with the things you will enjoy doing the most and perhaps try something new and exciting. Connect with them during the week, between Monday and Thursday throughout the month of April.

The major festivals for the PEACH is Easter, and the Easter Egg Hunt. Services for both Pagan and Christian celebrations will post their schedules outside the Chapel doors.

March 32nd, a.k.a. A Fools Errand – This is a day put together by the theatre department and writer’s club. All requests must be submitted on this day, the year prior. All deference must be confirmed on the Ides of March between 3PM and 9PM. You will be given a secret code you must submit on the 15th, failure to do so means you have withdrawn your request.

Asparagus & Shakespeare
Join us for a delightful spring tradition honoring William Shakespeare’s birthday, April 23rd, St. George’s Day, and the official launch of British asparagus season—the short, glorious window when our garden’s tender, home-grown spears that are at their peak! Wander our lush Shakespeare Garden, with its bushy, carefully nurtured asparagus patch at the far end, for a gentle spring clean-up, guided “Bard in Bloom” tours highlighting plants from the plays, and peaceful photo spots amid quotes from the Bard himself.

In the café, savor our signature seasonal menu featuring fresh asparagus paired with poached or seared salmon, served with your choice of creamy dauphinoise potatoes, rich and indulgent, or crispy smashed new potatoes, herb-kissed and light. Every dish is crowned with one of the top three winning homemade secret sauces from our annual Asparagus sauce competition—flavorful, mysterious, and utterly scrumptious!

Highlights of the Day
Asparagus Queen Pageant — Each Sunday serving features a crowned Queen, volunteer, staff, or lucky guest, who processes dramatically with a ceremonial bundle of spears to the kitchen, greeted with applause and lute music. She then enjoys a complimentary royal meal at a prime table! If you wish you make bow to her and kiss her green scaly hand.

Theater Dept. Magic — Servers dressed as characters from As You Like It, recite Shakespearean sonnets and poems at your table before and at the end of your meal. Sonnet 98’s ode to “proud-pied April”, sing joyful spring love songs “It Was a Lover and His Lass” and add playful Elizabethan flair. (Generous tips go straight to them!). Or if you wish, to recite one of the Bards yourself, the room is yours!

Live Lute Music — Enchanting Renaissance tunes during Sunday dinners to set the romantic mood.

St. George’s Tribute — Admire our new suit of armor, complete with crest and spear, crafted by our Master Smith Seppo Cain, standing guard in the café— a nod to England’s patron saint.

Themed Shelf — Browse exclusive goodies: asparagus pickles, chutneys, recipe cards, Shakespeare quote mugs, garden herbs, and more—perfect souvenirs!

This intimate yet enchanting celebration runs every Sunday starting April 23rd, launch day with extra fanfare, continuing through the asparagus season—blending literature, nature, fine seasonal cuisine, and a touch of royal whimsy. Come savor the spears, toast the Bard, and let spring, and Shakespeare work its magic! All are welcome—reservations recommended for café seating.

See you in the garden!

Faustian Spirit

Oswald Spengler, defined the Faustian spirit as Western Culture’s insatiable and restless drive toward the infinite and unattainable. He identified this drive as emerging in Western Europe around the 10th century and reaching its full expression in the Gothic period.

Infinite space as a prime symbols –
Limitless power –
Technological ambition –
Confrontation with the infinite –

 

Goethe’s Faust  Books I & II

 

The Faustian Spirit and the Vitruvian Man – the architect and the alchemist

Our People stand upon the threshold of decision. The historian declares our destiny is sealed in the West, our Faustian Soul, must bow to the iron law of decline, its striving exhausted, its future, but the gray monotony of power and barbarism.

Yet, against this shadow, arises another voice who proclaims that fate is no prison. It bids us to turn inward, to awaken the slumbering powers our kin etches deep into our bones, the imagination, for therein lies the seed of renewal.

If we heed pessimism alone, the Vitruvian Man presses forever against his enclosing circle, bound to fall back upon himself. But if we step towards the auspicious, heed the positive, if we resolve on the good, that same figure may at last step beyond the circle and the square, to shape with free spirit what no historian’s chart may bind.

Which vision do we embrace — the twilight of inevitability, or the dawn of possibility — this rests not with the stars, nor with the cycles of history, but within us.

She Walks in Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Cultural & Historical Foundations Outline –Enlightenment and Revolutions
Colonials, Romanticism, Faustian

Colonial Enlightenment & Seeds of Revolution (c. 1680–1770)

  • European Enlightenment Roots: Reason, liberty, progress—Voltaire, Montesquieu (Spirit of Laws), Rousseau (Social Contract), Locke’s influence on rights.
  • Colonial America: Great Awakening, salons, printing presses; ideas of natural rights spread (Paine, Jefferson precursors).
  • Early Revolts: Glorious Revolution echoes; growing colonial autonomy vs. British mercantilism.
  • Scientific societies, coffee houses—rational inquiry challenges old hierarchies.

Age of Revolutions Ignites (1770–1800)

  • American Revolution (1775–1783): Declaration of Independence (1776), Enlightenment ideals in action—republic born.
  • French Revolution (1789–1799): Storming of Bastille, Declaration of Rights of Man, Reign of Terror, rise of Napoleon.
  • Haitian Revolution (1791–1804): Only successful slave revolt; Toussaint Louverture.
  • Spread: Revolutionary wars, sister republics—old regimes tremble.

Napoleonic Era & Colonial Shifts (1800–1815)

  • Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821): From general to Emperor (1804); Code Napoléon, European conquests.
  • Continental System, Peninsular War, Russian campaign disaster (1812).
  • Congress of Vienna (1815) preview: Balance of power attempts, but revolutionary ideas endure.
  • Colonial ripples: Latin American independence movements begin (Bolívar, San Martín inspired by revolutions).

 

Key Cultural

Reason & Rights Awakened: Enlightenment challenges divine absolutism; liberty, equality, fraternity planted.
Revolutions as Spring Storms: Old orders uprooted; republics and codes bloom amid chaos.
Global Seeds Sown: Colonial worlds stir—America free, France remade, Haiti rises.
April Planting: Busy garden month mirrors revolutionary fervor—sowing Enlightenment ideals in fertile soil of discontent, ready for May’s Napoleonic harvest and Victorian summer growth. Harvest of Power: Napoleon falls, empires consolidate; industry and nations bloom.
Division & Unity: Civil wars heal or fracture; Westward push redefines identity.
May Full Bloom: High summer energy—Victorian confidence, Bismarck iron, American expansion amid conflict.

.

End Note April is the month the earth insists on. You can plan all you like, but the first warm morning will pull you outside whether you intended to go or not. The wool needs shearing. The seeds need planting. The animals need blessing. The outdoors wins in April. And the Shakespeare rehearsal runs whether the weather cooperates or not — which is exactly as it should be, because the outdoor theatre in June is only beautiful if April was honest about the cold. There is, as always, never nothing to do at the PEACH — and in April, most of it is outside.
