Pathways Sanctuary a world away from strife
Article Source ROCHFORD | In the last 10 days alone, we’ve witnessed carnage at an Orlando nightclub, the heart-breaking tragedy of a little boy dragged off by an alligator at the happiest place on Earth and a contentious presidential campaign marked by an ongoing dialogue so divisive it threatens to turn millions away from participating in the electoral process at all. But down the trail less traveled, in the shady, well-watered heart of the Black Hills, is a refuge a world away from your regular day. Six years ago, Dave Snyder, a retired pig farmer who spent four years as executive director of the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority when the Sanford Lab in Lead was in its infancy, …
Life on the Road: Beef Jerky, Swimming, and a Search for Spiritual Relief

Pathways Spiritual Sanctuary walk welcomes all
By: Mary Garrigan Rapid City Journal staff Even though the land speaks loudly to him, Dave Snyder hopes Pathways Spiritual Sanctuary will be a place of quiet solitude for others. On Saturday, July 17, Snyder will realize the dream of a spiritual sanctuary that he has harbored ever since he bought an L-shaped tract of 200 acres in the northern Black Hills in 1993. Pathways, which will be open daily through Oct. 15 free of charge, was created as a place for people to find solace, silence and spiritual renewal. “The land speaks very loudly to me,” Snyder said this week, while working to finish the mile-long path that meanders through 80 acres of spruce forest, grassy meadow and quaking …
