LA RIOJA
Keynote: Creativity

Discovering your unique autonomy, cultivating your deep creative strengths, and then turning them into assets in obtaining the life you desire.

This essence came from the beautiful and very proud region of La Rioja.  This small but autonomous region is known around the world for its wine.  Many hours were spent walking in rust red soil next to the fields where grapes grew.  This summer happened to be one of the rainiest in Spanish history.  The trail beside the vineyards was both breathtaking and crazy making, because the mud was thick, wet and deep.  It would cling to the soles of my shoes then topple me.  I must admit I took a few not so graceful falls.  As I encountered clusters of people out in the fields and the occasional lone farmer, it became clear that the grapes were a source of life both economically and spiritually for the people of this region, and for that reason, the land vibrated with the energy of respect, gratitude and creation in the purest sense.
