A Letter to You

I can meet you on the day of the Sun
one white ladder that rises up to the sky

On the rising of the Sun
the Way is written
silence
I am looking into the unexpected –
– rising up

There is the Light
here it rises
the birds are undulating
dancing, the arrival
music of the air
Breath of the LORD
The Tree of Life wakes up
a Flash

woolen rams are grazing

THE GOLDEN-HAIRED SHEPHERD
is leading them upwards
walking barefoot

flowers are blossoming

You are Love
I am Love

A River of Love

On the 22nd of July 2012 we will go to the old mill in the Polish forest in Brzezinka, the base of the Grotowski Institute.

We will start a special project

 RIVER OF LOVE

I feel that we will be on 
A JOURNEY
into ourselves, travelling through THREE STATIONS,
which will be three seven-day practices from July 22 until August 26, 2012.

You can practise with us all this time or only one week.

You will receive detailed information after you apply for the practice.

With YOU – Rena
