Participants of
Cynthia's Tours
Writers’
Tour of Paris
“What a gift you
gave me at a
crucial point in
my life. This
was a superb
mélange of
indulgence,
beauty, and
feminine
empowerment that
will change your
life and way of
seeing yourself
and the world
after one day,
after one taste
of this
beautiful city.
Cynthia was so
smart and
helpful with the
experiences, the
writing, and
living the
French
experience and
beauty. Her
presence and
humor and energy
empowered the
dynamic in the
group. It gave
me the joy and
hope to continue
forward.
I loved the
energy of the
group. I loved
the way it was
handled and the
encouragement we
all received to
step out of our
comfort zone.
The trip has
reconnected me
with beauty in
myself, in
others, and in
life. I have
made some
wonderful
friends and
kindred
spirits. I
cannot stop
thinking and
talking about
the whole
experience. It
has changed me
and helped me
embrace my
femininity and
power. It was
amazing.
Cynthia you
rock!” – Soo

“A Writers' Tour
of Paris was an
enchanted,
almost ethereal
journey through
and among the
magic layers of
Paris. Cynthia,
thank you so
much for
conceiving this
amazing
adventure. As a
lover of Paris
and of life, you
led us into a
relationship
with the city
and with each
other that we'll
always
remember. You
are a
flaneuse
extraordinaire
and an exquisite
developer of
that potential
in others.” --
Ginger
“Pablo Picasso
once said 'When
I see Manet's
Dejeuner sur
l'herbe, I
say to myself
sorrow is for
another day.'
This tour of
Paris was like
seeing Manet's
painting. All
the joys of life
were spread out
on a platter. To
echo another
writer and lover
of Paris, it was
a moveable
feast. Cynthia
was the
heartbeat of
this trip,
helping us make
moments that
will enrich the
rest of our
lives. Loved
Cynthia's
knowledge of pre
WWII France and
her sense of
humor.
Since the trip,
I am more
appreciative and
aware of sensual
experiences. I
enjoy my
femininity
more--feel
sexier; not
surprisingly, my
husband likes
this effect of
my trip too!
I've paid more
attention to
preparing great
food and I have
a greater
appreciation for
the company of
other women.
Thank you over
and over again.”
-- Leslie
“This trip was a
total blast. We
got to see Paris
and not feel
like a tourist
running from
place to place.
We had time to
explore new
places and then
be there and
experience them,
not just rush to
the next place.
There was time
to rest,
explore, write,
and enjoy the
company of the
wonderful group
that came
together for
this trip. I
loved every
minute and want
to go again.
Thank you so
much for you
creative energy
that went into
creating this
wonderful,
transformational
and really fun
trip.” -- Cathy

“Cynthia, you
are the
best—your love
of Paris shows
all over. You
make the rest of
us feel the same
way.” – Curt
 “A
delicious dip
into the City of
Lights viewing
author’s homes,
exquisite French
cuisine, and a
romantic boat
ride on the
Seine. The art
museums were the
best, the
restaurants were
comfortable and
very
accommodating to
Americans.
Cynthia smoothed
out the rough
edges of being a
tourist in
France who
doesn’t speak
French.” –
Pauline
“Cynthia – you
have incredible
energy and zest
for life! I
loved your
passion for the
city and the
writing. It was
inspiring. You
really know the
city well.
I am
absolutely still
on a high! This
trip has
affected me
profoundly. I am
tuned into all
the sense of
life more than
before, because
of our focus on
the senses and
really taking in
our
surroundings.”
-- Christine
“I enjoyed your
off-beat
approach and the
creativity you
put into
offering a slice
of the Parisian
lifestyle. I’m
glad I went!” –
Skye
“This trip was
like a lovely
walk through a
garden taking in
the sights, the
smells, the
sounds – but
with the
beautiful city
of Paris as a
backdrop. It
was like taking
your time when
you are
selecting lovely
flowers,
appreciating
each bloom that
you see. I
enjoyed this
trip
thoroughly. It
was a truly
great experience
that I will
cherish
forever!” --
Christine
“Cynthia, thank
you for your
intention,
wisdom, and
patience. I
enjoyed how you
share your love
of the creative
process and
passion about
Paris! What a
treat to think,
write and be
more creative
while touching
into places in
Paris I’ve not
been before.
Thank you!” --
Clydette
“Under the
broad, blue
skies of Paris
we explored and
discovered
visual delights,
creative
expression, and
clarity of
purpose. The
city of Paris
provides artful
stimulation (for
any medium), and
Cynthia has a
masterly flair
for finding the
best and the
beautiful as
well as the
relevant for
creative
seekers. Go!”
– Nanett
Seduce Your Muse
“Seduce Your
Muse was
perfect. My
friends ask,
'what was your
favorite part?'
and I have to
say 'all of
it.' I
appreciate all
your
organization:
purchasing our
tickets,
creating the
agenda, being on
time, and having
everything laid
out for us.
 You
dealt with
everything in a
calm,
professional
manner. It was
exceptionally
organized with
care and skill.
Thank you,
Cynthia.” -- Ani
“Cynthia's
leadership of
this trip was
sensitive. The
planning was the
key. Even
the non-parlez-francais
among us never
felt out of our
comfort
zone. The places
we visited in
Paris were
awesome
choices. Cynthia
gave us gentle
but firm
guidelines as a
group and plenty
of time to
explore on our
own. The
trip was a
perfect mix and
so well
engineered.
Thank you
Cynthia!” --
Sherell
“Cynthia was a
great leader and
made every
moment an
educational and
inspirational
adventure! My
Muse had plenty
of time to be
inspired due to
Cynthia's
carefully
thought-out
itinerary. She
suggested things
to do on our
free time, gave
me ideas and
instruction in
drawing, and
taught me how to
ride the metro
on my own. It
was so
thoughtfully
planned out;
Cynthia really
took the time to
create a trip
that would make
the most and
best of our
time. Thank you
Cynthia!” – Mary
