Breathe Life Into Your Book

This is a retreat for writers who have a book in process. Writer and trained breath facilitator, Ro What are your hopes for future writers?

Conscious breath is jet fuel to authentic writing- writing that functions beyond the mind and is intuitive. Interview with Robin Sparks:
What inspired you to start a writing and breath work retreat? While we can learn a lot “out there” about the craft of writing, I have come to believe that it is “in here” where we discover our most authentic voice. I had been writing professionally for 20 years a

nd facilitating writing workshops around the world for 9, when I discovered breath meditation. I loved the way that connected breath for an extended period of time, created a space in which the outer world fell away, so that that which was truest for me, became crystal clear. I took a 4-level training course in breath work so that I could incorporate the two things I love most – writing and breath work, and share them with others. In “Breathe Life Into Your Book” workshop we will approach writing from within and without. As a teacher and trained breath facilitator, do you have any specific affirmations / empowering words when you begin a project? I meditate with connected breath before sitting to write, and then from that space of knowing, I begin writing without thinking. If I get stuck later in the writing process, I ask, “If I could say only one thing in this story, what would it be?” I then return to writing with the answer to that question informing my story. That each student might gain insight to the unique story that only he or she can tell. Once the student knows the story beneath the story, he can put to use the additional support we will provide in the workshop to breathe life into his book. You have wide experience as a travel writer. What do you love most about your journey as a travel writer? What I love most about travel writing is the opportunity to meet people from diverse environments, cultures, and ways of being. I meld into their way of being for a time, listen to them, and then share their stories with the world. What I have discovered, is that while we are a deliciously diverse bunch, all stories as it turns out, are our story. This is why I travel and why I write. Why did you choose Bali for this retreat? Bali hums with life – literally. Everything grows abundantly and rapidly here, and nothing stays below the surface for long. The beauty and warmth of Bali along with its unique culture provides an inspiring and nourishing environment in which ideas flourish and projects are birthed. Bali is the perfect place to let everything else fall away, and breath life into your book.

Well what do you know? The sun set tonight and the world continued to turn. When I finally got around to checking the election results late this morning (I had dreamed of Trump’s victory last night), my thoughts kept returning to a question: Who do I want to be? I don’t get to choose how events unfold. My choice is how to live a full, ardent and intentional life in spite of what befalls my native country and the world. I won’t give up the next 4 years to divisiveness and fear. I will continue to be a storyteller, an amazement seeker, a weaver of connections, and a lover of love. How about you? Who do YOU want to be?

Well well. Look who I bumped into yesterday at a notary office in Istanbul. One of my favorite Nobel Prize winning authors, Orhan Pamuk! I shared with him that his book “Istanbul” opened up this former empire city to me on so many subtle and not so subtle levels when I first moved here in 2006.

I hardly knew why I returned to Bali - something about closure. Her mystic magic takes me on a ride deep inside. Most nourishing of all are the long time friends I’ve been reconnecting with. We hold a torch for each other. Soon, I will post some of their faces. For now, I still know not why I am here other than to write and luxuriate in her lushness and to remember who I am and what drew me here in the first place over 20 years ago.

From Bali, to Turkey, to family time in Los Angeles.

Village life in the Cannakele region of north western Turkey

Oh the memories of meeting friends here in years past. Nothing has changed at this fresh fish & mezes meyhane on the Aegean Sea. The roof held down by rocks, the suncracked blue & white paint, delectable mezes and fish. Thanks for the video Lorenza. Thank you for bringing us here Shellie.

Last day of The Bali Spirit Festival 2024.

What Balinese boys do at the beach when they tire of flying kites.

Me and my Littles this past week in Los Angeles and Pasadena. Tomorrow I point my space ship to Northern California where along with 35 relatives arriving from around the US, we will celebrate the 90th birthday of the matriarch of our family, my mother. Thank you for sharing this slice of life with me.
