Something old is being replaced – can you feel the urge to de-clutter and make room for……..? There is an awakening of the sweet power of silence in your life – as if an inner monastic is calling to you. Can you hear her? You feel the need to journey to an oasis from the busyness of your life – will you take the first step? Can you honor these urges without knowing where they will lead you? Would you like to make the first part of your journey in a safe and comfortable setting with women who are experiencing the same vague pulls, tugs and un-settlings?</span><b><i><u><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Lucida Handwriting';COLOR:#5600ac;FONT-SIZE:12pt"><u></u><u></u></span></u></i></b></font></div>

<div>Wonderful - I await the weekend eagerly. My friend Louise Holmes will be in touch soon to register as well.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't know how you feel about widespread publicity, but I'd be glad to send a notice out through the Sustainable Tompkins and Human Service Coalition listservs - ?

<div>Mary:
<div>I feel so silly, with the email I just sent to your 'info' address: when I read "April 28 & 29" my brain registered that April was already over and I'd missed it ...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've now come to my senses and want to register to participate in that weekend's wonders. I didn't receive the announcement, but Mary Reynolds is forwarding it to me so that I can send it on to other women who may want to come.</div>
