Wild wild




WILD PHOTOGRAPHY; ITALY October 4 to 7, 2012
Our wild weekend in the Magical Sibillini Mountain Park
Revitalise your vision. Read more.. http://www.natashalythgoe.com/page/30637/news/

The Sibillini National park is Italy's newest and apart from all the magical connections with the Ancient Goddess religions, it is also the home of wolves, bear and squirrels. I jest here about the squirrels (but there are lots and they are sweet and black)... but enough to say it's full of the most fascinating fauna and flora.
Scenically it almost overwhelming beautiful and it is here we will spend long days, returning knackered in the late evening to chew through our images and generally give each other a good hard time.
And then eat and sleep.
Your hosts are Michael, Natasha and Mauro.
Your fellow photographers Italian and English speaking.

OUR NEW WEBSITE

So there you are!
Was wondering I was
And the website is down, yes you are right about that.
It's because we are in the middle of putting up a new one and we've got muddled up between South Africa, UK and Italy. It's all about Servers and codes and things like that.
Here is some news!
Our latest retreat at I Cigni was a joy and a laugh and a launch into unknown territory, by which I mean we created some fascinating art and poetry and ate wondrous Italian food.
Examples

And that was just the food!

Just kidding of course! I'm scratching around between computers to find the Pizza pics but here in the meantime is a premeal photo (pizza pics soon); a trial for innocent English amateurs indeed it was



So what will our new site contain?
A whole host of new events, workshops, retreats, seminars, amongst which you will find;

Our famous Creativity Workshops (which combine a mixture of all or any of the media below)
Painting weekends (you can paint, of course you can)
Photography (it's all about you and your brain) STOP PRESS! A SPECIAL INTRO WKD OCT 4
Poetry (secrets unlocked forever, and ever)
Film making (incredible! All this new technology makes filmakers of us all)
Italian Cooking (oh my, delicious!)

Music and Voice. Very powerful! Sourcing the magic you hold within
