I want to let you know about something magical I will be co-leading this year. The Vermont Landscape with Lorraine Glessner. I was camping with friends and we were chatting about American states we wanted to visit. Vermont came up and I said, yes, I’d like to go there. I’ve never been, and I have a couple of clients who live there that I’d like to visit.
The next morning, at the campfire with my coffee and journal, I got a distinct inner nudge to check my email. I resisted because I am trying to keep weekends to myself and not my work self. But after three nudges, I got my phone out and checked the email.
Subject line: Co-teach a retreat
Inside was an invitation from encaustics artist Lorraine Glessner, whom I had coached years before. She leads retreats and invites other artists to co-lead with her. This time, she was looking for a writer.
When looking at my website, she saw my Paris retreats and felt there was a strong synchronicity.
And guess where she leads these retreats? Vermont. A mere twelve hours after I said I’d love to visit Vermont, an invitation I couldn’t refuse showed up.
I was giddy and alight with magic for hours. My mind wanted to sort out how, exactly, this kind of thing happens. My magical self said, just enjoy it.
In July, we will co-lead The Vermont Landscape as Muse: Encaustic on Paper & the Written Word. I will of course be leading the writing part of it. Spaces are limited to just ten participants, so if this is appealing to you, check it out and snag your spot now.
My Paris creativity retreats also had this kind of magic surrounding them. For more information on them, have a look at Paris Sketchbook or Meet Your Writer in Paris.
