Welcome to Sandra on Whidbey...
Whidbey Island, Washington is a magical place which I discovered moved to in 2007... South Whidbey is a kind of small, natural university of the arts, environmental entrepreneurs, writers, thinkers, creators...a mini-College of Fine Arts with many working theaters and troups, a residential program for playwrights and sometimes residential programs for writers -- artists' studios and galleries abounding -- and many published authors launching books from week to week, Oscar nominated screen writers, in this amazing community of doers. The views on Whidbey and from Whidbey touch the soul and remind you to notice where you are, take in the beauty of life in community rigorously...
Am looking right now at the snow-covered Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound waters that I can see with my back yard in the foreground...picture above taken from my backyard.... But all views on Whidbey are surprises and educate you about the unexpected bounty of a life experience... I'm reminded of Thoreau's Walden... The Muse that is Whidbey Island educates my higher and better self every day, to reach farther and appreciate more, and in this constantly community-building south island, to do that with others...to talk and share about it. A living experience more than a postcard...
I'm inspired to experiment here, to pilot new classes in Right Brain Aerobics and Beyond... I can teach things I might not teach in other places, try out new ideas in this amazing community so receptive to imagination and beyond...
This blog records my adventures on Whidbey Island and its surrounds, and allows me to say "Bravo!" and "Thank you!" and "Amazing experience" to fellow travelers here -- and the amazing entrepreneurs, farmers, businesses, theaters, writers, artists, alternative healers of South Whidbey... South Whidbey helps one appreciate the richness of life in an uncommon and magical natural college...nature here is a full partner and integrated as part of our local faculty, and that's different... That's very different.
Let us see what we shall see!
