Cherry Blossom Workshop

I hold ten-day workshops at the farmhouse in spring and autumn. I've done it seven times now. It is such an intense time having a group of eight in your house and life for those days.  Each time is different. The chemistry of the people is different. I enjoy it and am lucky to be doing what I want to  do in life. So many special moments with special people.

It doesn't feel like work. It is a pleasure to have guests at the house. Lena, Anna, Sue, Emily, Kim, Anita, Marcela and Kate.... We had perfect weather. I didn't take many pictures but looking through the ones sent to me I can't help but notice a lot of smiling faces. Beautiful harmony amongst you all. Thank you for the effort it took to travel from all ends of the planet. From Brazil and Sweden, Australia, Canada, the Himalayas and the UK.

Here are a few pictures to remember our time together.
