My eyes filled with tears as I was driving to Squam as i thought about how I have starved my creative self for so many years without even realizing it. I treated her to her first vacation at Squam and it was certainly worth it, on so many levels. I so hope that your turnaround continues and wish you health in EVERY area of your life!

I was regretfully unable to return this year, but your words sum up my experience at Squam in June 2009 perfectly. <br /><br />Squam was a life-altering experience, a holistic rejuvenation that came at the most needed time in my life. It may in fact have saved my life.<br /><br />I was on a precipice, just starting to come out of a horrible year filled with illness, artistic stagnation, and severe clinical depression. Attending Squam and absorbing some of the magic facilitated and the warmth that the instructors and campers and Elizabeth personally radiate into this world were a tremendous boost to my healing at exactly a time when things really could have gone either way. <br /><br />Upon my return home I slid back a bit (post-workshop backlash) and it took a while to recover my equilibrium and continue to climb out of my rut. But I stayed the course and fed on the experience of Squam as I rebuilt my fervor and determination to continue moving towards a healthy, creative and satisfying life. Now things are completely turning around, personally, professionally, artistically, socially, spiritually - in all areas of my life.MezzoDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149340150986325984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899518418378321132.post-41587611746143347612010-06-18T10:14:30.144-04:002010-06-18T10:14:30.144-04:00It has been my dream for a few years now to make i...It has been my dream for a few years now to make it to Squam.
