It reminded me of these wonderful series of retreats and this amazing thin place in Hill country. Through these retreats you led me down a path to a vision for a monthly gathering of artists in my own city. It was nothing short of a God inspired success. It was so obvious to me that God had breathed his life into it, as He did with your retreats. Though my own monthly series has come and gone it still inspires me to keep exploring different avenues to bring light and life into the world of the artist, as well into my own art. I so treasure these experiences that keep giving. Thank you David for all your own vision and heart for these. If for nothing else perhaps this alone was worth it all.

I sang and danced and made lots of references to Rome.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you!w. david o. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048604209388355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-44910884963404498542009-01-15T02:45:00.000-08:002009-01-15T02:45:00.000-08:00This, David, is pure inspiration.

I, too, have been wanting to facilitate a gathering like this for some time and I'm so glad you're birthing it into being this April! Incidentally, I may be helping to facilitate a retreat at Laity Lodge this autumn with a friend for artists and athletes. I will be spreading the words far and wide about this gathering in every way that I can. I would love to be there too, but alas, I will be helping facilitate another retreat in Rome over the exact same dates. However, I will be there with you in heart! May God surprise you all with the Gift of Himself in April!Shane Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189465790011820549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-44802238264018877932009-01-09T08:42:00.000-08:002009-01-09T08:42:00.000-08:00That'd be great, Heather.

It'd be nice if they had a chance to be inspired by the people and the place that will convene in late April. <BR/><BR/>And it'd be wonderful if you could come too. :)w. david o. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048604209388355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22105457.post-46073857395469953192009-01-08T20:36:00.000-08:002009-01-08T20:36:00.000-08:00I sent my pastors the info.

And maybe I'll get to go too since I was basically handed the responsibility of starting up an arts community when I got back from the symp. (and still have yet to make that happen...)
