VANCOUVER, BC: August 10-13

Please join us for the New Moon Banyan Tree gathering in beautiful Vancouver, BC!

Karen will host us in her home on August 11th. Thank you! I'd love to meet for dinner on the 10th and explore Stanley Park (amazing if you have not seen it yet) on the 12th. I fly back home the morning of the 13th.

I have stayed at and loved The Sylvia Hotel, which is very close to Karen's house. I just checked the website and this boutique hotel still has some rooms available - they book fast in August. There is a room for 5 - two queens and one single bed - that would significantly reduce the cost. It runs about $380 USD a night but divided up would be an economical route. Plus, AirBNB and many other options at all price points. 

Please let me and Karen know - you can email me at beigenlightenment@gmail.com if you are coming and when. 

I'm definitely going to require help with details and activities - free flowing! - so please let me know.

Florence, Italy: First week in October...?

Damian and I would love to meet you in Florence, Italy during the first week in October. I'd love to get a head count for people interested in gathering - possible to rent an AirBNB home with several rooms. Last year, we did this in the Netherlands (Damian, Este, Nazar, and several others) and it was so fun to share a home with a kitchen - cooking together is so fun! Please let me know if you would be interested in gathering - whether you would like to stay in the home too or prefer to rent your own place. Or maybe, we find a nice place boutique hotel...Open to suggestions.

Meeting along the way...

Damian and I will be driving Berlin to Florence and Florence to Slovenia in last September to early October - please let us know if you are on the route! If you come to California - please let me know. 

​With love!

So looking forward to the Vancouver gathering and am happy to help with details. We have great restaurants here - and if you would like Stanley Park to include a swim in the ocean - we could do our beach time there .

That sounds wonderful. I am happy to receive the help with the details and I would love to dive into the ocean with friends!

I was also thinking maybe we do a potluck at Karen's house. I'm happy to order some food from a Whole Foods or other recommendation as I won't have a kitchen.

Potluck works for me! There is a whole foods near Karen’s. Ill have my car so can always pick it up for you - not sure how long the walk would be for you

Perfect - the week before I will call whole foods when we have a head count and order a variety. Thanks for offering to pick it up. I plan to walk or Uber everywhere.

Also, Karen or Maureen - perhaps there is an art museum exhibit worth visiting. I'm not in a big city anymore so missing out.

We can check closer to the date. The Vancouver Art Gallery is downtown and usually has good exhibits

Also, there are a lot of small galleries along south Granville Street if you feel like walking from 6th Ave to around 13th Ave

OK, getting excited now that the visit is up in print! Whole Foods potluck sounds wonderful...I was thinking of mentioning there was a Whole Foods near by, so glad you got my message in the ethers. OK, new word: e-message (ethers message). :) Glad you can help with pick up Maureen.

There are a wide variety of restaurants near the Sylvia, including at the hotel. But have to say the food at the Sylvia is disappointing. Lots of other restaurants near-by with much better food. However, the Sylvia has the view from their terrace. If it is a nice evening, there is also a lot of very fine take-out near by of every sort and it is fun to go down to the beach/seawall and hang out. We get the view and our food of choice. So we can think about that too. Generally reservations aren't needed at the restaurants, so we can leave that impromptu if we like.

Yes, lots of swimming places along the seawall, and then I can join you for the event...which I would love to do. I'll hang on the benches while you have a dip in the salt water. I'd say Second of Third Beach would have the nicest beaches, depending on how far you want to walk. Lost Lagoon is nearby Second Beach if you want to walk through the park to the other side, and up into the rose gardens. And they have the Vancouver Police horse stables there if you want to say hi to some horses. (I love doing that).

Here's the list of upcoming exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery during that time: http://vanartgallery.bc.ca/the_exhibitions/upcoming_exhibitions.html

Another near-by hotel option is the Best Western Sands Hotel on the corner of Davie St. and Denman, which is right near the beach and about a block away from the Sylvia. http://www.bestwesternsandshotelvancouver.com/
I think they may be slightly lower in price. I hang out at both their restaurants regularly and they serve great food and good coffee. :)

I am looking forward to meeting everyone who comes, and having your all over to my space. And I am here to help with any details as well.

Hi guys,
Following along just a bit quiet right now. Soooo looking forward to this.. I'm coming for sure and will most likely be driving so I'll have a vehicle. Haven't decided where to stay yet as I'm deciding how long I want to stay but I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks Karen and Maureen for being so helpful and setting it up :) .
