Poet and author Judyth Hill is scheduled to be a guest instructor at Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts. Her workshop take place Friday – Sunday, July 29 – July 31, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The subject is WildWriting.
WildWriting is an innovative process that encourages us to coax our minds into a Zen-like state of deep listening and at the same time remain open to the sensuous stuff we know, see, feel, hear, remember, forget, taste, and ponder. Weaving together what we understand with what we experience generates WildWriting.
Beginning to seasoned writers are encouraged to attend and develop a supple, supportive community. Judyth also provides a wealth of hand-outs with this class, lively, inspiring offerings of the Dharma Lineage of great poetry: Rilke, Rumi, Mirabai, Neruda, Dylan Thomas as well as reading lists of fabulous anthologies, and resources for making, performing, and publishing your own poems.

Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara, Viniyoga, Hot Yoga or Jiva Mukti.

I am sitting in the most celebrated restaurant in the world and I have just been served a piece of ice. It is almost as if the pretty white bowl in front of me is empty, except that across its top is a perfect meniscus of clear frozen water. “Frozen Pond” the waiter announces with a smile, while another waiter taps mint dust with green tea and sugar across the top. We are handed spoons and asked to crack the ice. “Tastes like a stick of gum” my husband whispers. But I am decades away in a pink polka dotted parka that I have unzipped to fill with wind so it will sail me on my childhood ice skates across Long Island’s Mecox Bay.
Many things can happen to you if you are lucky enough to eat at El Bulli, Ferran Adrià’s extraordinary culinary laboratory on Spain’s Costa Brava. And you may not really understand the nature of your experience until it is long over. Certainly there is the excitement that you are about to enjoy a great meal, as well as recognition that you are part of history. El Bulli, the restaurant, will close at the end July. But there are many other emotions engendered by what is on your plate to take you by surprise. Frozen water, for instance. What starts out as a joke (the emperor, or in this case, the diner, has no clothes!) turns into a well-placed palate cleanser with Proustian effects.

The Baffin Babes are four rad chics with whom it would be fun to have a beer, go dancing, or ski tour 1200 kilometers in the Canadian Arctic over 80 days. Except you weren’t invited on the ski trip; they chose to do it all on their own.
Swedish sisters Vera and Emma Simonson, along with Norwegian friends Inga Tollefson and Kristin F. Olsen spent 80 days traveling along the eastern coast of Baffin Island, the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world.
At Mountainfilm in Telluride they will be presenting their trip, the glacial scenery, and remote Inuit villages they visited, as well as the fun they had, in a multimedia presentation at 6:45 Friday night at the Sheridan Opera House and 9:30 a.m. Monday at the Palm. (Palm showing is free to the public).

On the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, about the time the Gulf oil spill was about to capped, Drew Ludwig decided to take a walk. A long walk. In August 2010, he traveled by foot 120 miles from the Ninth Ward of New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico.
"I went to help. I went to work. I held lofty goals of an activist, and I wanted to use my hands."
And so he did, his hands and his unerring eye, recording images with his camera of people and places encountered along the way. Drew's motivation: break down the idea of "The Other," a complex concept lifted from the social sciences that defines the process by which individuals and groups create distance between themselves and those who do not seem to fit easily and comfortably into their cloistered worlds.
