Or is the land calling for writers to gather at this spot on the planet?<br /><br />I love the way ideas morph. <br /><br />Many years ago I blessed the land at Lot 15 and dedicated it to be a retreat for writing and spiritual practices. Then life had a way of keeping me super busy, in all of my businesses and personal spiritual practices while the writer's retreat sat simmering, waiting. I guess we were waiting for Leigh because my business partner had no interest in the jungle!<br /><br />And while we (the land and I) were waiting for Leigh, I organized writing groups, led laughter yoga sessions, taught Reiki and practiced Sound Healing... all at my restaurant, Tiramisu in the off hours... talk about multi tasking! <br /><br />My little book called Hammock Sutra (Hamaca Sutra in Spanish) is sub titled, The Art of Love in a Hammock. It is a beautiful little book illustrated by Ana Barreto, an exquisite mural artist from Acapulco, Mexico. Right now, it is available only in Mexico. However, shortly it should be available in the US and Italy.<br /><br />I feel like I have joined another writers' group since | began reading Leigh's posts and your comments. And as soon as I figure out how to get to your pages, I would love to read some of your musings too!<br /><br />Wasn't it Victor Hugo who said, "There is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come."<br /><br />So the writer's retreat with Leigh in the Winter and Spring.... and travel to out of the way places in the Summer and Fall, is the idea for me. I believe it's time has come!<br /><br />This year I am leading a group to Bhutan in September. If you are interested in Bhutan, there is more info at www.donnala.com<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726301007480663156.post-20189718793836861592012-07-03T08:25:06.843-04:002012-07-03T08:25:06.843-04:00Ha!
