Join us for Writing and Yoga in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

February 7-14, 2009

with
Jacqueline Sheehan and Celia Jeffries

Each day begins with yoga, followed by a gourmet, vegetarian breakfast as we overlooked the blue waters of Lake Atitlan. We write most mornings and evenings, visit local pueblos for a deeper connection with the Mayan culture, and find time to nap in hand woven hammocks.

MASK MAKING As part of our creative journey, Nancy Bingham will lead us through the elemental power of working with earth, air, fire, and water to create individual masks. At the beginning of the week we work with the clay to create the masks, allow them to dry for a few days before firing them, and then await the magic of the process.
