Lee Harrington - October Newsletter (CO, CA, WI, IL, HI)
Hi Everyone!I have just arrived home from San Francisco and am happy to announce that my website has been relaunched! Come and check it out at http://www.PassionAndSoul.com. You can access my list (50+ classes and counting!), my spiritual offerings, download audio classes, read my poetry, interviews and essays, and so much more.I will actually be back in San Francisco for Samhain (known to many other folks as Halloween), to participate in the 19th annual Spiral Dance that is being held there. This Reclaiming rite has always touched me deeply, and I'm looking forward to joining hundreds (if not a thousand) fellow journeyers in this amazing rite. I will have no official part in the rite, but I am excited to be part of it (http://www.reclaiming.org/rituals/samhain.html).For those who had candles lit for when I went into surgery last month- thank you. Last month was a medically challenging month for me- 2 dislocated wrists that had me cancel my classes in Vancouver, BC, and then revision surgery to fix errors made by a procedure last year. The great news is that I am recovered from both (ok, so I still wear wrist braces when throwing rope around, but I can work with that given that the fear was it was worse), and am back on the road causing trouble and enLIGHTening the masses. I am in negotiation with people in BC to make it up to my students there- don't worry, I haven't forgotten you :)**********October/November Appearances:Here is where I will be teaching and speaking in the next 6+ weeks.
