Mind-Body-Spirit Festival

I thought you might be interested in a recent experience that we’ve had: We decided to promote our new book, One-Two-ONE, and the DVD, Couple’s Illumination, both about relationships, by taking a tiny booth (7 feet by 7 feet) at a large public trade fair — huge showroom, ceilings 40 feet high, 120 booths, a special room with 50 psychics at 50 square tables (with a chair for the client – the line formed quickly each morning to sign up for these readings of all sorts), clairvoyants with microphones on one of three stages, purveyors of fine chocolate, aura jewelry, exercise equipment, etc., all sorts of loosely connected things and services, also Scientology and aura photographs! Over four days, 17,000+ people came through. It was exhausting and fascinating to watch all the different kinds of people. We put up a sign that said “Free Brief Relationship Tune-Up,” and had dozens of people come in for this little exercise (“In Whose Name”) from our book – totally fun, and we think very useful to many. We met some great people, and in the end, we don’t think we’ll ever do that again. Our two back-ups got sick, so we were there all day every day. We might help out with such a venture in the future, but not do it all day every day. We gave two talks on two different stages, well attended, and that felt positive.
On another note, we are singing a lot – in a 40-person come-one-come-all choir that sings some simple stuff (Beatles, even Cole Porter) as well as some complicated four-part pieces, also in a nine-person a capella group with much more complicated material, and Lila and I are singing together duets with our music teacher. So we sing to the mountain, who is our tutor for this life-stage.
Lila is writing as am I, one of the means whereby we open to the creativity flowing so freely here.
