of Morro Rock twice a year, each summer and winter solstice,

for centuries to perform religious ceremonies. Both tribes
consider Morro Rock to be a sacred site. And we honored them

and the sacred land where we met.

We also immersed ourselves in the local cuisine. At the meet

and greet, we enjoyed wine from several of the local wineries
and beer from a local brewery. House of Bread catered our

breakfasts and lunches, providing a wide variety of local
favorites that included gluten free and vegetarian choices. And

we celebrated our La Vendéenne award recipients at Windows
on the Water where we had a 180 degree view of the bay and

watched the sun set behind Morro Rock.

As we all gathered together in one space, each of the

instructors and presenters shared the secrets of their special
alchemy, taught us new techniques and tools, led us through

creative and healing exercises, and welcomed us into this
inclusive community of wax artists.
