Registration is now open for Taos in…

  • Lakeside

    Greetings from Long Pond in Belgrade Lakes, Maine.  Just one of our long-time heart-held “home away from home” places. We’ve had the now grown young-uns coming and going, making for a vibrant and energetic time all together.  There have been games and water-play, swims by day and by night to combat some of the warmer…

    Summer’s Chapters, Flowing

        Last I left you I was on the Ohio River, sinking into this strange summer on home turf.  I taught a little pop up workshop at the Northern Kentucky University satellite lab and classroom where we walked and considered the quiet splendor of life in an Ohio wetland.  It was golden hour magic,…

    Before the Next Chapter of Summer

    Hiya from the between-ness, too-muchness and not-enoughness of summer!  I find myself between travels with too much on my plate in the way of keeping life going, doing all the things (fun and necessary, etc) while craving more of other things such as quietude and depth….

We found ourselves without internet for much of our time together and so daily posts were literally impossible. And, I was firmly stuck in to working with this incredible group of intrepid artists. Tonight we have a…

  • A Special Place

    *a note on the content below.  The stewards of Plaza Blanca don’t want folks “hashtagging” or publicly sharing or promoting this out of the way and magical place, but as this blog space is limited to access by only you, my patrons, I feel comfortable sharing.  Our instructions were to only share with our circle…

  • Little Road Trip

    We are taking a little drive today, visiting my long time friend Ron a couple hours away. It won’t be the same without CC but we are excited to have lunch and a quick catch up with him. A journey anywhere in this land of enchantment always affords beauty and today has been no different.…

  • Taos morning

    A quick note of hello and another ‘test’ of this here app. I had two posts written, posted (or so I thought) but they’ve been lost to the ether somehow. One post was about our visit to the Stony Heads (aka, Mt Rushmore) This is a place I have real mixed feelings about. Yes, it…
