News from Johanna--June 19
Greetings from California!
Here's a funky photo of me in a forward bend beside a creekbed in Sedona, smiling at you. I have been busy leading private self renewal retreats. More requests for them are coming in as people choose to clear themselves of what's pulling them down and make decisions to move forward with greater aliveness. I just finished a retreat with a wonderful, powerful young woman, who was a pleasure to be with. I call this the "Roto Rooter" retreat as it clears away all of the accumulated crap--pardon the vernacular!
Today I am a writer. I will be attending a meeting of the Read Local San Diego steering committee of which I am proud to be a member. This is a new program whose mission is to connect local San Diego authors and readers. We are launching quarterly author-reader events starting mid November. If you know any San Diego authors, please send them my way. After our meeting, one member, Mike Torrey, will host a discussion of his photo book Stone Offerings: Machu Picchu's Terraces of Enlightenment and then another member Michaela Renee will be hosting a book publishing celebration party for her novel Teetering on Disaster. If I know Michaela, that party may go into the wee hours.
By the way, I just completed the marketing plan, comparative literature an bio for my book , CULTIVATE CONTENTMENT: Ancient Wisdom for Today's World ,and will be opening its new webpage this weekend www.cultivatecontentment.com. Then I plan to mail it all to the publisher on June 22nd--22 is my favorite number and I always think that the 22nd will be a powerful day! Please intend with me that the publisher accepts my CULTIVATE CONTENTMENT book and gets it out in print soon. In the meantime, my author's preface and Terry Cole-Whittaker's foreword can be read in one of the other articles on this blog.
I plan to be in Sedona for July to lead a self-renewal retreat July 23-25 (still open for one more person) and to work on the new retreat house on a secluded mountain top in Cornville, 20 minutes south of Sedona. We are preparing the house to be rented for retreats by families and groups, which is a very exciting project for me. I wil be starting a new website that will show photos and a virtual tour of this retreat house called SugarLoaf Sacred Space in a month or two called www.helpingretreatshappen.com and will be doing just that.
I will write more about the wonderful things that are happening in my life and look forward to hearing from you about yours. Please send in comments and photos about your Sedona experiences and about what you are learning about life! Namaste, Johanna Maheshvari
