unique looking roof.
     
    Between the ground and the underside of the roof were wooden hatches that could be opened or closed depending on the temperature. Inside the theatre there were many different types of cushions and pillows that had accumulated over the years and had been individually made by different people that wanted to add their energy to the theatre. The theatre was also where all learnings and education took place and where the Wise Council would hold their meetings.
     
    The education of this time was far different to the social programming forced upon us today and, most importantly, everything that was learned was used to great effect by the person wishing to attain their new knowledge. The sort of things that were taught and learned were things like meditation, astral projection, healing techniques and how to make or repair things that could be of use to other people as well as themselves.
     
    They held sewing workshops, pottery classes, woodturning classes, jewellery and costume making sessions, healing classes and any other workshops that nourish the soul.
     
    By far the most popular class that was held was the dream day class. To take part in this class, you would have to stay awake all night the night before. Classes would start at 6 am, when you would find a comfortable spot to lie down and slowly drift into a dream. Every 10 minutes, the dream catcher (the person in charge of the class) would very gently hit a gong and by doing this, the day dreamer would stay in the brain pattern of theta mode and not fall into the deep sleep of delta mode, giving each person an abundance of dreams.
     
    Every hour on the hour the dream catcher would hit a larger gong and everyone would awaken from their dream state and share what they had learnt and where they had travelled to. There would be three dream journeys throughout the day and the better you became at it the more amazing things you could do in your dreams. Everyone loved dream day so everyone had to wait until it was their day to take part. This worked well as nobody spent too much time in the dream world and kept a healthy balance with mother Earth and father sky.
     
    The education system was by free choice and there was no age limit as to whom could educate themselves. A typical class would range from roughly three years old to a couple of hundred years old, depending on who wanted to learn what and when. When people were not learning something specific, they were learning the fine art of teaching itself, by teaching others.
     
    There wasn’t any set structure to the education system either. When someone woke up one morning and had the urge to teach about a particular subject or topic, they would put the word out via means of telepathy and let everyone know what they were planning for the day. Those who wished to take part would then come along and join in. Everything was done truly from the heart, which meant everything was done to the best of each person's ability.
     
    It was art that flourished the most as recreation in Shepherd Wood. Art was a staple in the diet of all residents there and was not just a means of nourishing one's own soul, as it enabled others to be spiritually lifted by what was created around them. Being artistic also allowed people to be in touch with higher spirits and to channel what those spirits wanted them to share. In later centuries, art would become something discouraged and censored by those who had gained power. They knew only too well how this kind of activity made everyone so happy and how it exercised the mind to be greater - far greater than those who gained the power of control over the masses in the first place.
     
    Art would take many different forms and anything that pleased other people to watch look at or listen to was deemed as art. There were some truly amazing objects that were made and sculptured and people would take many years to make just one object, they could do this because there was no sense of
