Beauty in the Berkshires-asked back!




“I had the pleasure of experiencing the work of Joan and Tomas Heartfield as well as Caroline Muir at a recent workshop at Kripalu. Their profound and delightful teachings are, without a doubt, the next step for healing humanity on this planet." Christiane Northrup. M.D. author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

We love it when those who take our workshops get value--that's why we do what we do! "The proof is in the pudding," my mama used to say, and the fact that we were asked back means our students said they got what they came for. Actually, most said they got way more than they came for--and that's just fine with us.

Caroline, Tomas and Joan enjoyed the magnificence of the East Coast at Kripalu Institute, a retreat center in Western Massachusetts. Caroline and Joan gave a Divine Feminine Invitation weekend for women; Tomas gave an Awakened Masculine weekend for men; and all three gave a Romancing the Beloved week-long.

Caroline and Joan saw a black bear--right outside the kitchen window of the lovely teachers quarters. It was like living together again--getting up early and giggling in the kitchen before going off to eat the gorgeous breakfast in the spacious dining room. Kripalu is know for it's delicious organic spreads. It lived up to it's reputation in spades.

Joan and Tomas had a stellar time at the annual James Taylor concert (his 60th belated birthday party) at Tanglewood with Denise, the head of programs for Kripalu who treated us to this concert that also featured Yo-Yo Ma, Carole King, John Travolta. Several veteran concert goers said is was the best concert they'd even been to.

We were hosted flawlessly before and after Kripalu by Carol Emmanuel. We met and worked with many of her wonderful friends; picked fresh peas from her garden; swam in her crystal clear stream; and spend quality time together.

Thank you beloveds of the Berkshires for your warm and loving reception--we'll be back!
