Bali Writer’s Retreat, Oct 1-6, 2010

I am very excited to announce that I will be speaking at a Writer's Retreat in Ubud, Bali Oct 1-6 2010 in the week before the Ubud Writer's Festival. You may know Ubud from Elizabeth Gilbert's wonderful book Eat, Pray, Love. It is a magical place, great for creativity, relaxation and learning new things while being based in the wonderful Balinese culture.

Full brochure to come soon, but here are some details so far. You can show your initial interest by filling in the box at the bottom, and I'll let you know more details when they are available.
