 Update on Women, Creativity and the Soul, A Retreat in Italy next September.
1.Yoga classes that support not only your body but the work we will be doing on the retreat will be given by Valerie Rowe-Clark, who has been teaching yoga for seventeen years. She is tailoring our yoga sessions (for all levels of practitioners, including beginners) to compliment our journey with creativity and the feminine energy.
2. New photos of Il Grande Prato, the restored farmhouse/retreat center that will be our home in Tuscany, are now up. In addition, they have recently added a lovely new study (picture shown) as well as a gym and a hot tub!

Two Writing Prompts:
From The Fiction Writer's Journey
Ray seemed like a nice guy. Friendly, in a goofy sort of way. Yet, when I think about it, there was that look. I called it The Ray Look. His eyes raised like someone suddenly surprised and his lips curved slightly, somewhere between a smile and a smirk. Sometimes The Ray Look was funny. Other times, it left me unnerved. Like when he touched my back. The pressure was halfway between a graze and a rub. Was an incidental or accidental touch? I was never quite sure, but looking back, I should have seen it coming....
From Creative Soul Works
"We may worry about death, but what hurts the soul most is to live without tasting the waters of its own essence."
