Summer 2015– Coming Salons and looking forward

Woman-Splitting-Head

It has been awhile since I have been able to lift up my gaze and look forward rather than simply slipping from study to study, water to trail, adventure to book…the last few months have been full of multiple Ulysses studies, wonderful Proust immersion, perspective adjustment via Adichie’s Americanah and the transcedental space of T.S. Eliot– with a good dose of Virginia Woolf and Greek classics to provide robust foundations.

When the study is happening, the loud world recedes and for some blissful hours, the words and the sparks they set off in our minds is all that matters. To get to that space–and that deep sense of connection between participants and the literature, the work of reading and preparation is necessary– so here’s my stab at regenerating that work.
