Hi guys, Jen Pastiloff here. I don’t post my own stuff too often these days, but these videos, holy Wow, mother of all cups of coffee. Please do yourself a favor and take a few moments and watch these videos. Please. One of these women is a Holocaust survivor. Their friendship is so utterly inspiring to me that it brought me to my knees. I want to have that kind of love. It’s an honor to the guest speaker again here at Canyon Ranch. What a great honor and privilege. Thanks for watching and sharing these videos. May we all listen more. May we all pay attention to the stories inside of us and inside of others, because, do not be fooled, we ALL have one to tell. Listen. This is beauty hunting.
I hope to see you at a workshop or retreat soon. Tuscany for this summer is almost full (as if the September one) so book soon. Just be a human being. That’s the only requirement. (Besides having a sense of humor.) Please share these women. They need to be shared with the world. Share the video or the post. Keep listening. Keep paying attention. Love, Jen from Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts.
To get into your words and stories? Join Jen Pastiloff and best-selling author Lidia Yuknavitch over Labor Day weekend 2015 for their 2nd Writing & The Body Retreat in Ojai, California following their last one, which sold out in 48 hours. You do NOT have to be a writer or a yogi.
“So I’ve finally figured out how to describe Jen Pastiloff’s Writing and the Body yoga retreat with Lidia Yuknavitch. It’s story-letting, like blood-letting but more medically accurate: Bleed out the stories that hold you down, get held in the telling by a roomful of amazing women whose stories gut you, guide you. Move them through your body with poses, music, Jen’s booming voice, Lidia’s literary I’m-not-sorry. Write renewed, truthful. Float-stumble home. Keep writing.” ~ Pema Rocker, attendee of Writing & The Body Feb 2015
These women just made my day. I am so happy to have met them through you.
Thank you dearly, Ladies. What beautiful stories shared. Truth-telling. I feel like I was there. *sniffle* Bless. XO
The last one got me the most. Just story telling, gratitude, and friendship. That’s all we need. Wow. Thanks for sharing all of this!
I could hug them!!!
