Where else can you get bliss, information, transformation, sisterhood, and the Foods of the Goddesses, all in one place?!
Here is what some of the Zona Rosans say about these one-and-two week retreats:
"It was the happiest two weeks of my life." - Rosemary Repeta, Charleston, South Carolina, referring to the two-week Zona Rosa retreat in the South of France, October, 2004
I know of longing for time to stand still
I know it doesn't
I know to relish
each point of joy in the journey
I do
Thanks for being
my joy in the journey.
- Jill Davis, Auburn, Alabama“Rosemary doesn’t waste a minute and she gives her all.
When we were sharing, she was really listening to every word.
I go to workshops often and I found this one (to be) the best
one I have ever been to.”
- Franci Weston, San Antonio Zona Rosan
What one participant said of a recent writing workshop in Berkeley, CA: "I still haven't come down to earth (don't want to), the workshop was like hearing all the music you want to hear, after not being able to find it for way too long...I realized how much I have missed the kind of talking, thinking, and laughter we had at the workshop. That is what spurs me on in my work, no matter which medium I am using, thanks for your dynamic and sensitive energy." - Sali, San Francisco

KOKOPELLIWOMAN SPEAKS: Rosemary Daniell and the Zona Rosa writing group
Last Saturday was a day of spiritual and creative breakthroughs. My writing teacher, Rosemary Daniell, the High Priestess of the Zona Rosa writing group, was in town giving a workshop to the Austin/San Antonio Sub-Rosa women who are obsessed with writing. I attended a prior workshop last May, and immediately knew that this was the place for me. Rosemary, author of Secrets of the Zona Rosa, The Woman Who Spilled Words All Over Herself, Fatal Flowers, and others, was as usual, a rock of support and information. Mainly, she brings out the best in any writer. Her books on writing are among the most down-to-earth, just-in-time, get to the guts of the matter how-to books I've ever come across.
And the woman is a goddess. A genteel, sexy, brilliant, competent recovered Southern Belle, she has influenced the works of many of today's well-known authors. She is a consummate editor, and delivers the goods in a loving manner, tinged with a saucy Southern flirtatious approach.
She encourages women to write their truths, and helps them do so in a professional, confident manner. She believes that women have a vital imperative to reveal their inner selves in a way that is most natural to them. At the same time that she gives writers invaluable tools and cues to tighten and craft words to their greatest effect.
Rosemary is a breath of fresh air, a scintillating jewel, and writes like a fallen angel. I am proud to link to her Web site, and I urge any writer to take advantage of her wisdom and experience and juiciness.
You can buy her books on Amazon (only four left in stock, more on the way), Barnes & Noble, and Powell's Books sites. If you're a woman, and you're serious about writing, Rosemary is your go-to guru.— Austin Zona Rosan Claudia Snowden, from her blog, Fried Okra Productions
My time with you in Santa Fe at the Creativity and Madness Conference was a holy time.
