This summer— take some time to play in the South of France with us. Relax, meander and refresh yourself amidst the quaint villages of the South. Visit the grotto of Mary Magdalene, local vineyards for wine tasting, artist villages, the “grand canyon” of the South of France, local markets, lavender fields, castles and much more. We have reserved a quaint villa around the area of Toulon from which all can venture out and enjoy the beauty of France and its aromatic history. This is the maiden voyage of “Same Time Next Year!”— a group of soulful travelers, gathering together to enjoy sacred journeys near and far. From year to year we hope to scale this up to a month in a given location, with people coming and going as schedule and budget allow. This inaugural trip is slated for two weeks. We are consciously designing this opportunity to be affordable— for one week or both (and will help coordinate the comings and goings of all to maximize on affordability). We are framing this as a sort of relaxing, artist's retreat— where individuals and/or couples are free to go off by themselves, schedule activities to their liking (with some suggestions thrown in by us to take or leave)… and with an occasional planned dinner, pool party or activity scheduled in which all may choose to come together as a larger group during any given week. Note: This is not intended primarily as a get-on-the-bus and follow-the-crowd, organized… packaged… guided trip. Think of it, rather, as a familiar home base, from which to launch into your own adventures— solo, or in various combinations of old and new friends. I do have some ideas formulating on a couple side trips or classes of my own (possibly women only— David may or may not pull together his own reciprocal “boy's only” events). I will post all details as soon as I have them. We would love you to join us. Mark your calendar now to give you plenty of time to save, dream and plan for a wonderful getaway with other like-minded people. If you are seriously interested, e-mail me to reserve your spot and I will update you with more information from there. Weekly deposit required. Limited space. No refunds of deposits. “The Dance of Conscious Creativity” May 21st-23rd, 2004 Traverse City, Michigan at the Esoteric Healing Conference Contact Deegram123@aolcom for more information.

Come join us for a weekend of joy, celebration and creativity as we honor our own inner Goddess and pay tribute to the Earth Goddess in the season of the Harvest. We will dance to live music, craft, create sacred altars, blend, share our journeys, healing talents and visions. We will create ceremonies in the moonlight and sit in circle together. Come be the Goddess with us. You won't want to miss this experience! In the beginning she was Queen of all things. Mistress of the house of wisdom, Goddess within and without. She is beauty. She is instinct. She is inspiration. She is strength of mind, body and spirit. She is the origin of all good. She is Mother of Life. She is the light of knowledge. She is the power of love. She is all we have ever been. She is all we are and all we ever will be. She is each of us. She is you!
