BRIMMAGES PHOTOGRAPY

We recently had the pleasure of hosting award winning photographer, Steve Brimm, with his wife, Rebecca Gray, for their first anniversary. Steve allowed me to take his picture even though he is more comfortable behind the camera. He took some photos around the Ranch. We talked about his giving a workshop in Seeing with a Photographer’s Eye. Keep an eye on the workshop page regarding dates for a workshop of 9 people in November. See website for his amazing book of photography of the Michigan Upper Peninsula “Spirit of Place”: www.brimmages.com

SOULWORK WITH MARTYN AND TERESA
In July we have the honor of hosting a Soulwork training with Scotsman, Martyn Carrethers and his beloved Teresa Mocna of Poland.

I give credit to my dear friend/sister Carolyn and the dolphins for helping me handle this painful incident. On the day Kavika died, I remembered a suggestion Martyn made about how I could heal my heart from the heaviness I feel about the war by making
