Ojai remains a peaceful oasis in the swirling chaos of today. A highlight in August was a week\u2019s visit from my older grandson, Raj, now fourteen. Asked how his week in Ojai was, he responded, \u201cCrazy good!\u201d The young give us delight & hope in this mad, mad world. Raj is enthusiastically writing and performing his work both in Seattle as well as on youtube.com<\/a>. Raj\u2019s brother, Tristan, now eleven, remains happy in his special world.<\/p>\n

September was my sixteenth year teaching The Way of Story<\/em><\/strong> in Big Sur at the Esalen Institute, always a special time. Invited to Rancho la Puerta in Baja, MX to teach, and many workshops in various places. The goal for now is to limit overseas trips, staying home a bit more to write and to offer writing consultations.<\/p>\n

Next performance of my 1-woman play Freud\u2019s Oracle<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>will be in Dallas, May 3 followed on May 4 by a Heal Your Self with Writing<\/em><\/strong> workshop, sponsored by Friends of Jung Society. <\/em><\/strong>Enjoying this unexpected return to acting. (Freud’s Oracle<\/em><\/strong> is now available on Audible as well as Print and Kindle on amazon.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

My 6th online course, Overcoming Grief with Creativity, <\/em><\/strong>is available on the home page of wayofstory.com<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n

or dailyom.com<\/a>\u00a0 (<\/em>I\u2019m told there are now over 35,000 subscribers to my online courses.)<\/p>\n

November marked my 18th<\/sup> year as a final judge for the Ojai International Film Festival where the winning feature film, Octav<\/em>, came from Romania and the winning animated film from India. Nice to have the wide, wide world coming to Ojai and not having to fly thousands of miles as before!<\/p>\n

Wishing you all peace & love, Catherine & Missy Prissy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
