while leading the hip tranquil chick retreat last spring one of the participants asked if i went on retreats, too. it was an eyeopening question that stuck with me. my last big retreat was in mallorca november 2006. far too long ago. interestingly enough, right before hip tranquil chick was released. the retreat in mexico that i just signed up for is right before the launch of tranquilista. perfecto!
after interviewing kelly rae roberts, christine mason miller, leigh standley, sabrina ward harrison (upcoming), and lisa sonora beam on my podcast, i'm dying to learn mixed media. these images from lisa sonora beam's website give a beautiful glimpse into the intricacy of the medium. doesn't it look divine? takes collaging to a whole *new* level.any readers play with mixed media? would love to hear about your experience!
today is kinda like my own one-day retreat. chez moi is empty except for two fancy felines and i'm still in bed (with my trusty laptop, of course). i have TONS of grad school reading to do but am having a hard time getting up. there is something so comforting about a cozy bed full of down comforters and pillows in the fall. it looks like i'll be doing my studying here in between some much needed napping.
join moi on monday for our seasonal teleclass on fall festivity. have your journals, colored markers, and mug of tea nearby. this season's 8 petals are reflective, inspiring, and, above all, fun! xo

How funny - I've just started exploring the mixed media creative field! It is FASCINATING and a beautiful parallel to yoga for self union/discovery. I've just started collecting everything from fabric to paper bags to stamps to digital images and combined to my heart's content. As I'm a virgo-perfectionist by nature, it is also a very freeing process (there is no right way to do it)! There are several stunning women out there who do amazing work and inspire me constantly. T'is a beautiful world to explore!
Yay for you Kimberly! After leading several yoga retreats in Mexico, I am finally treating myself to one is a few short weeks. :)
Funny how we can put ourselves so low on the list...at least till we awake and say, "Hey, wait a minute..."
That retreat looks great! Can't wait to hear the details.

Oh Kimberly you couldn't have made a better choice!!!! Hacienda Mosaico is an absolute gem - a truly magical and transformative place. I've done two retreats there and will be back for a third this year. You will LOVE it.
Sounds like such an exciting retreat for you! And I can't wait for the teleclass!
