October 2009

We had an amazing weekend at the Stargaze 2009!  

Thank you all incredible participants...we had such a perfect combination of talent...and our drive-by-genius-songwriters Darrell Scott and Mary Gauthier blew us all away!

Darrell started us off...and set the tone for a beautiful talk on the power of creativity and the unquestionable gift we all have and how important it is for each of us to embrace our "inner permission slip".   I think he referred to it as a "get out of jail card free"!  It was so inspiring....

And then Mary Gauthier stepped into the circle with her great song and a challenge to us all to dig deep for our truth in our writing.

Among our other guest teachers we had the pleasure of meeting Allison Stillman and learning about the power of essential oils in the creative process.  Deeply spiritual and yet very routed in science and brain chemistry...it all fit in perfectly with astronomy believe it or not!   Allee's teaching on the oils was very experiential...and everyone went home with their own custom blend for creativity!

And Paul Reisler, easily one of the most in demand teachers in North America...taught 2 Master classes.  He also opened up the Stargaze with one of his breathtaking performances. Just below you can see me hugging Allee...not only do I love her...but she always smells SOOOOOOO good!

Of course Rocky Alvey blew our Cosmic socks off again....delving into mind-bending astronomical stuff that just seemed to tie everything about Creativity together....plus he performed a new song for us he has written for a movie!  He's really been holding out on is kids.   He will never do another Stargaze without performing a song!  I mean...he flips a good burger...but he's got GREAT songs up his oven glove!

Gabrielle's food was once again a focal point....and it was all over way too soon!  Thank you NSAI, Doak at The Nashville Muse, The Music Row Show, and Dan Har at Music News Nashville for the help with bringing us some great songwriters this year!!


And last but not least...please consider coming to the Costa Rica Songwriting Intensive!  And also pass this information along for us!  This is going to be such a life changing creativity growing experience!  I've already started writing songs just thinking about it!
For anyone that can come...you will be amazed at the value of what you'll come away with...all details HERE!

Happy Creating!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxBNC
