To Italy with Love

There's something incredible about Italy. For me, it's like stepping into a fairy tale...an enchanting magical place. The beauty surrounds you with smiles and sunshine. The food is always "a happening." Everywhere you look, there's another photograph you want to take, another memory that will stay with you. From the sea to the mountains to the skies, o the majestic, ornate buildings on the cobblestone streets, the lemon, orange, and olive trees, from the flowers that are everywhere even on the balconies and sidewalks, the whole country is remarkable! We will again see Italy and fall in love with the beautiful Italian people. We will again walk the streets, the piazzas, the markets...

To my followers, future and past guests, and friends, I would like to share a personal message with you all. Growing up and living in Italy with my Great Aunt Assunta made me love my Italian roots so much so that I am truly one of them, a true Italian. With that said, when I communicate with friends, family, and coworkers abroad. I feel the optimism, strength, love, and togetherness that we all have during this challenging time. I am proud not only of my American heritage but also the incredible history that makes the Italian people who they are. Resilient! I cannot wait to return to Sperlonga and hope someday you too can join me. Grazie and stay well during these ever-changing times. June Morrocco

Wild at Art - small group art holidays and creative retreats in Scotland

I love curating and hosting art experiences for fellow creative spirits from all over the world. With the world being in lockdown, being in nature and curating and planning new experiences for when we can all travel again keeps me sane. I’ve also started a collection of resources for those who feel in need of a dose of Scotland and creative inspiration:

An exciting addition to the 2020 programme is a women-only creative winter retreat in the breathtaking and ancient landscapes of the Orkney Islands. I’ve teamed up with the amazing photographer Margaret Soraya to host this week-long, all-inclusive retreat that gives you the space and quiet to delve into your passions and find your own creative path through immersion in nature and the arts: creative journaling, photography, drawing, painting & other creative treats.

• 3-10 November 2020: Rediscovering a Sense of Possibility ~ Creative & Photography Retreat, Stromness, Orkney, Scotland (no single supplement!)

The 2021 programme is also beginning to shape up:

• 8-15 May 2021: Fabric of an Island ~ Mixed media drawing & painting with Janet Melrose on the Isle of Iona, Inner Hebrides, Scotland
• 23-30 May 2021: Drawing from the Land ~ Drawing & painting holiday with Ellis O’Connor in the Outer Hebrides islands, Scotland
• 11-18 September 2021: Magical Orkney ~ Watercolour painting holiday with Leo du Feu in Orkney, Scotland

Keep safe & healthy. With love from Scotland
