Heritage School - A Spa For The Intellect

Chris Holt, a student at Heritage School at The Conservancy, described her experience taking a Drystone Masonry Course as a "spa for the intellect" and a "collision of two worlds." "It was wonderful to go from working with stones at the bottom of the pond to a delicious and beautifully prepared lunch" complete with white linen cloths . . . and afternoon beverages in crystal glasses adorned with fresh fruit.
