Italy, July 2012?

The studio

We are very excited to present a storytelling and healing workshop with myself, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Barbara Mainguy and friends that will take place in Umbria, Italy July 2012. It will be a unique retreat in a special place right in the center of the "green heart of Italy". We are inviting anyone who is interested in story, the healing power of narrative, writing, birth, or just plain relaxing and staring at the view.

Please go to Storytelling and Healing for more details.

Birth and Language, Words and Life

I am very pleased to present our next Italian get-together.
It will be held at a wonderful retreat in the green heart of Italy, from July 14 to 21, 2012.


Casa della Pace is a calm, beautiful, loving environment that allows you to fully relax, retreat from your daily worries and cares, and concentrate on what really matters.

This week-long retreat in July 2012 will not only be a chance for us to explore language and narrative during birth, but through all of our life cycles, from birth through childhood, adulthood, giving birth and raising children, old age, and that final cycle, death.

We will be exploring the universality of language, the power of words, and the joy of storytelling. Guest facilitators will include Lewis Mehl-Madrona,whose current interest is narrative medicine.

We will be working towards an anthology of stories and pieces emerging from the retreat, which will be published in 2013.

Registration is limited. If you are interested, please contact us (leave a comment) and we will email you our application form.
