Ginger,

It's these 'behind the scenes' type of work, like making sure we can privately post to each other, that creates and maintains the community we enjoy. Thank you!

Greg,

Again, I thank you, for your help and for your posts. We?re back in California (my sister and I) and enriched by our experience of visiting The Seed, or I should say the 33,000 square foot warehouse that once housed The Seed. I would like to accommodate you and those reading these posts of my ?recovered memories?. And yet I have, through intensive therapies done for many years, recovered many memories. This forum has helped me to validate those relived memories that at times seemed too bizarre to be true. This can?t happen in America ? right?  Having delved into my own subconscious for many years, I found the experience of visiting this warehouse to be quite healing. For instance, in taking photos that I hope to post for others like me who live far from Florida, I came upon a large wooden beam upon the asphalt we once did our exercises. On the top of the old beam, was a luminous green sprout grew from a fracture in the wood. We are Seedlings, they named us such. The Seed is long gone. The warehouse is for sale. And we, like nature, endure.

There is much more to tell, like the connection and healing that my sister and I enjoyed. Because this tragedy of The Seed, did not simply change us, it also hurt our family members. There is much healing to do?

With Love, not the prescribed ? I love you? from the seed, but from a free and open heart.

Dear Greg and Chris,

We stopped at the warehouse you both outlined... I even took pictures of this warehouse in case we could not return there before our flight back tomorrow. In retrospect, I am so grateful that we didn't immediately recognize the place, because i wouldn't have sent out, my 'help' post and would not have had this experience. This experiences that we Seedlings can help one another as we were never allowed to do in our youth. That our community reaches beyond the boudaries of our past expereinces is a true gift.

Our flight leaves late morning so we will be able to visit the same warehouse - knowing that this realy was the location of the seed. THANK YOU!!!

Greg, you mentioned in your post to 'pm' you and we could exchange phone numbers. I'm new to this forum, I have no idea what you mean. But I would love to talk with you anytime. I have read many post these past few weeks and so appreciate what you have contributed--what all have contributed. Thanks again Chris!

With Gratitude,

DG

Hi Folks,

My sister and I are in St. Pete today (we're from CA). We took Greg's directions- thanks - Greg! We drove past the mall turned right and looked at several warehouse-like buildings, but niether one of us recognize it. ( I was in the Seed and she was had to go to the Parent's Night while on summer vacation from College. Any one online now? Any address we could have? WE['re sitting at the Kinok's across the streat from the mall - and I ca come back her to check post.
We really hope to see it while here. For those of you who have lived here --it most be quite different. I'm shaking just being in the area.

The Seed Discussion Forum / ST Pete Address

Hi, Me again, reposting my question. Sorry it was not in Tampa, it was in St Pete. I was 12 years old and they were the same town for me at the time...

It's my first time on this list. Incredible to find this--thank you all for your posts.
Does anyone know the address of The Seed in Tampa? I'm going to Florida next week and want to stop by there - see the old warehouse, cracked concrete, wired fences - if it's all still there.

Thanks!
Danny

The Seed Discussion Forum / How did you tell your children, spouse about the Seed?
« on: June 28, 2005, 06:02:00 PM »
Wow, that?s a lot of questions! I don?t have children, so I can?t answer from a mother?s perspective. I am however, a proud aunt and have talked to a couple of my nieces about this. For me, I don?t bring this up with children and teenagers unless there is an opening, a way that I can help them understand what?s happening in their own lives. When my niece was uncovering memories of past child abuse and having suicidal thoughts, I talked about my own similar experiences and how I worked through them. I told her about the rape, the hopelessness, all of it, in an effort to bring her hope that no matter what others do to us, we can survive, we can heal, we can be fulfilled.

As to partners? and for that matter, any friend or family member, I have waited until I knew them well enough to feel secure that they would not judge me based on my past experience. Their reactions: Always the same, anger, sadness, disbelief that something like The Seed could flourish, and support.

Hope that helps a bit.
