Retreat Offerings: A Food-related Retreat Possibility.

When I showed my original retreat invitation to my niece April, who owns the guest house where retreats will take place, she had one criticism: I needed to say more about the food. At the time, I wasn’t ready.

But this past Saturday I invited one of her current tenants, a 25-year-old man, to dinner after I realized he was alone for the weekend. I had roasted some vegetables to eat during the week: sweet potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onions … There was also bok choy sauteed with garlic and homemade sauerkraut. He was enraptured. Wanted to know how I made everything. No problem! It’s really, really simple.

Now I’m realizing that April is right: I need to share this kitchen witchery with folks. To inspire others to enjoy playing around with food.

You, perhaps? Or your daughter, your sister, your friend?

I’m thinking sometime this spring or early summer for a food-focused retreat. Tell me when is a good time for you to come to Texas and we’ll make this happen.

Retreat Offerings: My Interests and Expertise

During our retreat, we’ll learn, heal, and play. For example …

Learning. The Enneagram has been life-changing for me. We can dip in or geek out, as you wish. Same with Selfistry — Artistry of the Self.

Healing. We will share gut-healthy meals and I’ll teach you what has helped me heal my own digestive system. Moving on to the bedroom, I’ll share my wisdom on sleep hygiene practices and/or the experience and enjoyment of sex. We can also explore Yoga, meditation, and plant medicine.

Play. Bring what you know and love from any movement modality — and a beginner’s mindset — and we’ll turn it into play through music. And if we need more play, there’s always Bananagrams …

Solstice Possibilities: No Longer Just a Fantasy?

I just reread my first-ever blog: Solstice Possibilities post from June 2020. How naïve I was to be thinking, on June 8, 2020, that by June 20 it would be okay to have people in our house.

Now, two years later … I think it may be safe — finally — for three people to gather here with me to welcome the Solstice. People who know they are not currently infected and are within driving distance. (And yes, you are invited to spend the night if that makes the drive easier). Others can Zoom in, as always on Wednesday evenings.

Let’s do this. Wednesday June 22 from 7:00 to 8:30-ish CDT. Who will join me?
