I just got back.
The world should know.
I"m not the same.
A week ago I attended a 5 day retreat/workshop titled "Acting and Being". Really, I am not too into the whole meditation hoopla, i just thought getting away would be a good thing to do for my birthday.
Well well well.... I ordered a lamb shank and received a whole herd! This place is trully magical.
Hidden away in the forests,with rolling hills,and mysterious ponds, on top of the world resides Jean Claude van Itallie.

I met Jean Claude when he was putting fresh flowers into the workshop tent. He was wearing a cowboy hat, leopard pring underwear, and bright yellow crocs. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not in Manhattan anymore. eri
Anyway, we camped, but Jean Claude does offer housing for a reasonable rate inside his AMAZING and GIANT cabin. We were fed 3 delicous, organic meals a day by the sweetest ladies who run an Inn down the road, studied, meditated, and experimented all day long, and had a few hours rest in between which I personally spent swimming in a gorgeous lake.
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT?
Oh ... wait.. and our two instructors aside from Jean Claude, were Rae C. Wright and Parlan McGaw who were both knowledgeable, full of energy, and kept us on our toes.
There is info on the webiste about upcoming workshops and retreats.
Treat yourself, go away from the concrete jungle. This isn't just for actors or meditators. Most people just needed some time to heal.
