Autumn Workshops in Progress

It as an enormous relief to meet all the members. It was the end of  six months of preparation. Actually, the past year and a half of life has been focused on one single thing. Endless carpentry work on this house to make it presentable for the guests. The end is in sight! I must admit it is looking pretty good. Hiro filled the house with flower arrangements. And friends have made such a stupendous effort to support me and to make my guests feel welcome in Japan.

The weather is cool and gorgeous.

The workshop members are enthusiastic and fun.
 (With all due respect to the original Indigo Sisters. I wish you were here to meet them.)

I had intended on posting about our daily activities each night, but that proves impossible with evening hot spring trips and campfires etc. Time is so short. I wish we had ten years instead of ten days.
