Magical Italia

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]i had many memorable experiences while i was in Italy.  And even though i was in excruciating amounts of pain and my Lyme was flared pretty badly, i was still so touched and moved by so many of my interactions there.

i led a retreat at ​www.lepianore.it and i can not even begin to describe how wonderful the place and the people were and are!!!  The family who created this magical center started with crumbling buildings and mostly barren land and restored and healed it and brought their magical vision and love to the place, and you feel it everywhere you go on their land and in their ancient, restored buildings.

Everyone who participated in the workshop as well brought their own unique gifts, insights, and offerings and i am forever touched and reminded that magic continues to exist, even when i am exhausted, in debilitating pain, and cynical.  i bow in humble honor to the family at Le Pianore, to the cook and her helper there who created DELICIOUS joyously, vegan food, and to all who came from all over the world to participate in co-creating magic together.

Love and Gratitude,
