Given the state of affairs in Nashville  – a heady brew (or frozen mix?) of exhaustion, frustration, and relief, for some – it seems the right moment to share an exciting opportunity. Something to think about on these frigidbitter days…

There will be an intimate memoir writing and journaling adventure in BhutanOctober 26–November 2, blending journaling and memoir writing with meditation, meaningful conversation, Himalayan hikes, and lovely resorts, all in the last sunny days of autumn…

Won’t you think about joining me?!

Travel in Bhutan is both gentle and astounding. I spent several weeks there in the fall of 2022 and have been yearning to return ever since. As my friend Linda Leaming describes it – my author friend Linda, who lives in Bhutan –

“The country holds you in a state of grace – its slow pace and quiet beauty naturally opening a space where you can think, feel, and write. With clean mountain air, ancient monasteries, and a culture rooted in kindness, Bhutan is the perfect place to discover your inner voice and reconnect with a more peaceful, grounded you. It’s an ideal setting to begin or continue a writing journey – and a journey of the spirit.”

Led by Linda Leaming, author of Married to Bhutan and A Field Guide to Happiness, along with poet and meditation guide James Hopkins, this week is designed to help your words flow more freely and your inner life feel more spacious. You’ll return home with fresh pages, practical contemplative tools, and a renewed sense of delight in being alive.

More to come very soon.

If Bhutan isn’t in the cards this year, I hope you’ll plan another getaway to a place that is whispering to you from near or far. Having something on the calendar to look forward to feels incredible.

In the meanwhile, may the NES gods restore your power. I’m still waiting for mine!
