	OLD SPANISH TRAIL NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION Co-Project Manager for field and historic research in 6 states (CA, UT, NV, AZ, NM, & CO) to prepare 6 nominations of the Old Spanish National Historical Trail for the National Register of Historic Places. Responsibilites included: project management, coordination with 6 SHPOs and over 100 volunteers/consultants/THPOs, fieldwork, photography and editing of final documents. Research was compiled by Chupadero Archaeological Resources.
	RIVERS AND BIRDS LABYRINTH, TAOS, NM This project was completed as a gift for a local organization which we felt was worthy of our support. We took the Rivers and Birds logo and turned it into a labyrinth! We believe in their mission of  "providing experiential education adventures; that celebrate the interconnection of all life and inspire individuals as leaders for Earth stewardship and peace." We can't imagine a truer correlation between an organization's mission and the workings of a labyrinth!
	GENTLE SPIRIT HORSE LABYRINTH, FOREST, VA Original football field-sized irregular labyrinth of horse design for use by children with learning/emotional difficulties to use while riding or walking a horse. The largest known irregular/non-symmetrical labyrinth in the world - more than 300’ wide - installed in mowed grass. The labyrinth was commissioned by two Unitarian Minsters and installed on private property in Virginia.
	SACRED CIRCLE, FOREST, VA Archinia was asked to design and assist in construction of a sacred circle on a historic horse property. This sacred space was oriented to the cardinal and intercardinal directions, designed with complete resonance to the neighboring hills and mountains, and them implemented with a 13-point lunar star hidden in the circle of standing stones.
