At the crossroads of Creativity, Nature and Spirituality is Transformation.

I am thrilled that my first-ever Gaian Soul Retreat, coming up this September on beautiful Whidbey Island, is already 2/3 full. I set my intention for a group of lovely, amazing women to join me, and boy howdy, have they ever!
But there’s still room for more . . . perhaps you might be the next one to join us. (Click on the image above to watch the wind spirits play with my hair!)

My friend Maia from julia warr on Vimeo.
Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film (4min. 23 sec) captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented. (2011). Film by Julia Warr, Music by Lola Perrin
Thanks to Elaine Nichols for pointing this out to me!

There are times when it’s perfectly OK to shut down for a little while.
Sometimes the well just needs to be replenished from that deep underground spring.
You may have noticed, dear Reader, that I’ve been pretty scarce around this blog lately. I haven’t been keeping up with my regular features like Spirit Sunday or Weekly Wisdom, although I have managed to get Wordless Wednesday up.
I have to be okay with that.
Part of my phone conversation with Beth Owl’s Daughter the other day found its way into her blog post here. I’m one of the folks she mentions who has reached a point of shutting down and putting things on hold for a little while.
Some people call it “taking a digital sabbatical.” So I might call it that, except that I’m not completely offline.
I’m still popping up on Facebook most days, which feels kind of like a town square to me, and I’m posting the 78-Day-Card-a-Day-Countdown cards here.
But I’m feeling like my well is empty when it comes to coming up with brilliant, scintillating blog posts. And so, instead, we have this silence.
And what a lovely silence it is.
My silence is filled with:
How long ’til I’m back with regular blog posts? I honestly don’t know. It could be tomorrow. It could be mid-August.
I know I’ll be back. And in the meantime . . . consider shutting down a little bit yourself.
What is your silence filled with?
Blessed be.
