Dear Friends:
It is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in "Making the Third Chapter Fabulous: Prose! Yoga! Passion!" Dates for this 5 night, 6 day retreat are Tuesday, August 31 to Sunday, September 5.
The Retreat will be held at my family home on the island of Martha's Vineyard, a lovely, sprawling house right across the street from the beach and a 5 minute walk to the town of Oak Bluffs. We'll feature a Yoga Class each morning with Maya Breuer, founder and director of the Santosha School of Yoga in Warwick, Rhode Island, designed to stretch, strengthen, and tone our bodies and achieve unity of body, mind and spirit. After a brief break and breakfast, we'll move into a Writing Workshop led by me and designed to identify and release who we wish/dream/imagine we might become at this stage in our lives. We'll use writing exercises, readings, discussion and positive critique to identify, expand, plan and begin writing our own fabulous Third Chapter.
Then lunch and free time in the afternoon to go to the beach, take a hike along a nature trail, explore town, or sit on the porch in a rocking chair and do nothing. Cocktails are at 6PM on the glass enclosed porch overlooking Nantucket Sound and Ocean Park. At 7 o'clock each evening we’ll share a delicious communal meal, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" featuring a special guest who will talk about their work, their own transformation, and how we might facilitate ours. The conversation will be provocative, lively and casual, the dinner scrumptious and healthy.
After dinner you'll have a choice of Foot Reflexology with Gwen Maristany, Yoga by moonlight, a one-one-one discussion of your writing, and more. Or perhaps you’d like to take a walk beside the ocean, shoot a game of pool in the antique pool room, or sit in a wicker swing on the porch, relax, and build community with other Retreat participants.
Did I say there will be plenty of time to go to the beach, sit in the garden, look at the ocean, read, talk, or whatever strikes your fancy? It's your call! We've designed these days in the company of like-minded people to be productive, joyous, affirming, life-changing, relaxing, community building, and FUN! Maximum number of participants is 10, including 2 non-residential registrants. The cost for this inclusive, creative, joyous, transformational retreat is $1800. (Excluding travel.)
