THE POWER OF PLACE
Travel Writing
California Writers Club, Redwood Branch, Cotati
Sunday, Sept 14, 2008, 3-5 pm
Vividly described place is fundamental to communicating the significance, influence, and power of environment. Careful, complete, intentional depictions will strengthen your writing and delight your readers. As a writer, you select what to include, what to draw attention to, what to reinforce, and how to alter mood by what is changing in the landscape or by what is missing. Blending objectively rendered descriptions with subjective perceptions, we can tap into a simple, obvious, and direct source of story, rendering landscape so strongly that it begins to take on a persona. Interior landscape is fed, caressed, and refined by lucidly observing external landscape. Through short imaginative writing exercises, we will explore our personal relationship to land, evoke the natural order and elemental power of archetypal landscapes, and wake up our character's, and readers', senses. We'll conclude with an overview of current markets and opportunities to publish in print and online.

MYSTICAL BRITAIN AND THE POWER OF PLACE
Joan Champion Mendocino Dowsers Meeting
An Earth Mysteries special presentation featuring stunning photography of ancient and sacred places, transformative live music, roadtrip tales.
Cindy Pavlinac & Martin Gregory
Saturday, Sept 20, 2-4 pm
Cindy and Marty will bring their Earth Mysteries presentation to our September meeting, with their stunning photography of ancient sacred places and live contemplative music. Cindy will lead us through the sensitization process for recognizing alignments in visible and energetic landscapes with photos of prehistoric and medieval sites in Britain, accompanied by Marty's music to evoke the symmetry and harmonics of mystical places. They will share secrets of using dowsing to shift awareness and enhance the travel experience, and to return with gifts of wonder and joy. The presentation will include The Power of Place, one of their collaborative productions with photography and music from their pilgrimage journeys.
Cindy and Marty have presented their slide/ sound extravaganzas at the West Coast Dowsers Conference since the mid 80's, and at other forums around the USA and Europe. Along with their magical pup, Merlin, all three enjoy road trips to powerful places and labyrinths.
