January 2017 will begin with a flight on Iceland Air to beautiful Tetuoun, Morocco, via Amsterdam and Casablanca. I never imagined I’d say those words--never knew I wanted to say those words!
As a resident artist for 5 weeks, I’ll have the   opportunity to become part of a thriving arts culture. Along the way, I may learn some Moroccan Arabic, practice my Spanish and French, explore an ancient City. My intention is to sharing my love of people, art, lanugage, and to do quite a bit of watching, listening, and learning. I plan to take photography and some painting supplies, and we’ll see how much of the journey is gathering images to paint from later, and what inspiration comes. If you would like to learn more about Tetoan, I recommend UNESCO’s page on Tetouan.   

Stay tuned for more on this--I'm so excited. This is how I feel:

Meanwhile, come practice the art of deeply resting with awareness, and gain much needed energy and balance for all the things you already do! I am facilitating (my favorite) restorative yoga class, both at Be Luminous in South Lake Union every Wednesday, and two Fridays in Fremont (Cosetta Romani's beautiful class).
