Thanks so much for organizing the trip.  I thought that we had a great group, the place was extraordinary, the food !!!!!, and you guys offered up just the right mix of structure and relaxation time.  It was a very special week to me in many ways and hope that you will organize another trip in the future.  (And I didn't gain any weight!)

Since I came back, I have kept to my walking in the mornings and have begun to work with a personal trainer, I am continuing a Tuscan diet (a little red wine at night and good healthy food during the day which includes smelling everything that comes within the range of my nose-- food, drink, wine, waiters, other guys at the gym) and am walking with my pelvis (like the men in Italy). I am feeling my body, both arousal and aches from the gym. It has awakened some very real erotic energy and I am seeing guys now that I just did not see in the past. I go out of my way to smile and nod at guys on the train and make eye contact on the street and say good morning. (Some call it flirting...I call it being defiantly friendly)  I am staying conscious to little things like tying my shoes and finding the birds that I hear on my morning walks. There is something about coming to one's senses.  Thanks for helping me find this new state of being.

I had a great time at CTYS. In fact I'm convinced that the week was responsible for my taking stock of what I'm doing with my life and take the first step in realising a few dreams! So thanks!!

Now that it's been several weeks and life is settling back to “normal,” I wanted to thank you for all your efforts in assuring a fantastic time for all of us in Tuscany. It was a magic week for me on many different levels, and you helped so much in facilitating these wonderful feelings and memories! Aside from the many workshops and conversations that took place throughout the week, some rather difficult and emotional for me, it's the quiet times and personal moments that occupy such a special place inside of me...inside of my heart and soul. Nothing could have prepared me to experience such wonder and beauty in so many forms. Without sounding all 'new age'-ish or like I'm a Shirley MacLaine  disciple, it was a fabulous time for me, one that I'll  cherish  forever... truly. Thank you for showing us all the way. It was a wonderful ride!
