Welcome to Gossamer Wood, Canandaigua’s ‘best-kept secret’

EXCERPT FROM Democrat & Chronicle, Canandaigua Messenger Post

CANANDAIGUA — Heading from a circular spot in the woods called Spirit Keepers, Bill Dewey, an octogenarian former research engineer, talks of how he had come upon this place and the work he has done in building trails that wind throughout.

As raindrops pitter-pattered among the trees, Dewey explained how he and his wife purchased this land off County Road 28 in 2001. She died a few years later, and he soon embarked on a plan to preserve this 9 acres he calls Gossamer Wood.

Gossamer, as in the sense of floating the name of this healing retreat center evokes, he said.

“There is energy here like you wouldn’t believe,” Dewey said. “I think it’s the best-kept secret in Canandaigua. You hear that everywhere, but this was sacred Native-American ceremonial and healing grounds.”

The public is invited to walk the grounds from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and experience ceremonial sites, stone structures, meditation areas and healing places.

What makes Gossamer special are powerful energies called Fields of Consciousness and powerful healing areas that encourage mystical experiences. These fields not only are associated with sacred sites, but also exist near the homes of great leaders and reformers, such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, he said.

“The vibe is out of this world. It’s intoxicating.”

And, as visitors will note, it’s still a work in progress.

The trails are clear of debris, and several paths are marked so no one gets lost. Dewey said they are working to fine-tune stops, with names such as The Bower, Pyramid of Time and Feeds the Soul, where folks can stop and meditate or try to experience the energy.

Dewey has since come to know Native-American shamans, one of whom is from Watkins Glen and who walked the grounds with him. Dewey said he could not believe what he heard.

The visitor pointed out where a shaman’s hut once was situated over here, a sweat lodge over there, a women’s circle and a place where the young would participate in coming-of-age rituals, all in this woods where Dewey used to live. He has since sold the house and moved to Florida, although he has retained ownership of the woods.

When Dewey asked the shaman if he was seeing all of that, Dewey said he responded: “I see history.”

“Most of this sensitivity of energy stuff — I got laughed at my whole career. You know, you’ve got to be kidding,” Dewey said. “But medical people are starting to research it and they find that walking on the ground actually pulls electrons up out of the ground. Your whole body responds in a very positive, healthy way.”

“It’s important to keep it sacred,” Dewey said.
