| SEASONAL NEWSLETTER Summer 2019 “Little breath, breathe me gently, row me gently, for I am a river I am learning to cross. ” -W.S. Merwin Hello friends, Happy summer! I love how these warmer days draw us outside and inspire more gatherings and celebrations. Through this pitta season I have to remind myself often to move slowly , be gentle , and to live in trust . As the inner and outer heat builds, what are some of your favorite ways to stay calm and cool? Perhaps one of my favorite, 'Cooling Avocado and Cucumber Gazpacho' recipes (listed below) can be added to your repertoire?! 😎🥑🥒 This month has been full of transition for me with lots changes on the horizon and some shifts with 'Camina Gillotti Wellness.' Next week I'll be starting a full-time in house wellness position for a tech company in San Francisco. I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter, and of course also experiencing the bitter-sweet goodbyes that go along with any big life change. I'll be seeing clients in Sonoma County the first Saturday of the month and will be available for Skype consultations as my schedule allows. My mom and I will still be holding our fall retreat on October 5th, 2019 at the beautiful, Open Sky Retreat Space in Sebastopol, CA. The half-day will be filled with a variety of guided contemplative practices, along with time and space to just be in nature and with yourself.
