I've just returned from beautiful Asilomar Conference Center, in Monterey, CA. I had the extreme pleasure of co-teaching a workshop with my friend, Patti Digh (Author of  "Life is a Verb" and many other books).

We taught a workshop entitled "Your Geography of Loss" based on Patti's book, Geography of Loss, and my current 'Text on Textiles' workshop.

Patti gave the students writing prompts based on loss and grieving. It was powerful and healing for everyone.

Our workshop was part of Patti's annual "Life is a Verb Camp. (I'll write more about camp in my next post.)

Just a few hundred yards from our classroom, the beautiful Monterey Bay!

 I'll be teaching "Text on Textiles" (sadly, without Patti) in January at Craft Napa! Hope to see you there.
