I wish you were, too, Susan! But I do leave the states, so maybe at some point I will head your way, or maybe you'll get here to see the redwoods when things are less insane in these parts!! Sending you huge hugs in the meantime <3
I know, you are extremely far away, but also, your side of the globe is on my must-experience list! So let's not put an in-person hug outside the realm of possibility <3
I love sharing my part of the world. Tourists come here to swim with marine megafauna but fail to absorb how truly ancient this land is. I know you'll understand it.
Everyone googles the Ningaloo Reef, but search for images of Yardie Creek, Mandu Mandu Gorge, Shothole Canyon and Charles Knife Canyon. You'll see what I mean.
I ADORE Elissa, and if I was not going to be at the wedding of a close friend of mine I would have tried to meet her in Truro! I had already booked these dates at Mount Madonna Center when I saw her dates at Esalen 😩
One of these fine days I will make it to one of her retreats as well. I was lucky enough to catch her at a reading for Permission in Los Angeles, and she is a gem. Brilliant and wonderful, as you’d expect. I got a hug, however, that was not enough ☺️☺️
And yes, if you are looking for somewhere to explore what might be stopping you from writing about certain experiences, that is definitely a topic we’ll be diving into. If you have any questions, of course feel free to message me❤️
Oh man! My wife and I just planned a trip to Palm Desert for that weekend! Otherwise, I’d sign up for sure. I’m in the Bay Area, so if you host something another time, I’m there.
I’ve been thinking about getting an open mic night or something together. What area in NorCal are you? Maybe we could put something together, together!
Hey Charlie! I'm actually in SoCal, it's my son who's in NorCal, so I head up that way to visit a lot. Definitely let me know if you get an open mic night together and maybe the timing will work out so I can come and cheer! :)
Una excelente idea, me encantaría, pero vivo muy lejos (en España) y aún que he viajado en dos ocasiones al west de EEUU, actualmente no me es posible. Es muy buena idea y os deseo lo mejor a todos.
OMG I wish I was in America I want to go to the Redwoods!

I didn't expect to hear from you, what a delight Ally!
Thank you & I'm in Australia please come over 😀 & enjoy the redwoods I'm thinking of you love Susan
Yes! I am determined to get to Australia, so you can count on it!
Oh Goodie!!
Sounds amazing and probably much needed, but I will have to join you in spirit, sadly.

That would be amazing!

In the meantime, virtual hugs to you <3
I would love that so much 🥹
We can hope.

Ally!!!! This sounds amazing! Gahhhhh!
Try to come!!! I would love that so much ❤️❤️❤️
I live in Santa Cruz CA. This is a lovely retreat center. ❤️
Oh my gosh! Isn’t it stunning?! I’m up your way a LOT! My son is in school in NorCal ❤️
Who knows what may unfold ❤️
From another favorite writer,Elissa Altman:
"to peel the onion and do a deep dive into the issues surrounding why we allow ourselves the space to tell some stories, but not others."
This retreat sounds like a serene place to do that.
