Happy New Year!

Wishing you a very Happy New Year!  
I hope this note finds you peacefully drinking a cup of tea reminiscing the gifts & silver linings of this last year and holding with tenderness the more challenged moments we've lived.

In a nutshell, 2020 for me has been Strange, Simple & Sublime.
It has been a strange year and it has also been super simple obviously with freedoms & distractions taken away as we continue to "Shelter in Place" for days, weeks & months on end. 
And somehow in all of that strange & simple a deep & quiet Sublime has crept in & left me somehow left me "Nourished".  These times have inspired more thoughtful Art making as well as encouraged my team & I to find ways we can support people more directly by helping them cultivate their own inner sanctuaries, reclaim their imagination & creative superpowers & find their inner compass for more calm, clarity, sense of direction & a return to their truest nature, a simple JOY.

Our virtual Creative "Spa Vacation" / Retreats have been a luxurious reprieve for both our guests and ourselves.

And yes, there is something so mysterious that we simply can't deny;  that Creativity & Art change our Inner Worlds, 
Heart, Mind, Body, Soul.

And a New Year's Blessing 
by a favorite poet,  John O' Donohue
*
On the day when
The weight deadens
On your shoulders
And you stumble,
May the clay dance
To balance you.
And when your eyes
Freeze behind
The grey window
And the ghost of loss
Gets in to you,
May a flock of colours,
Indigo, red, green,
And azure blue,
Come to awaken in you
A meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays
In the currach of thought
And a stain of ocean
Blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters
A path of yellow moonlight
To bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of love around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.
*

May our intentions be aligned with mind, body & spirit. And this year may you be surrounded by friends, your Heart filled with joy & your mind as peaceful as a night forest ... filled with stars.
All my Love,
