RoseCrossing, Inc.

......Adventures With Deep Culture
Crossing the waters for art… history…science…music….
for the taste of another's time and space
for the chance to discover and rediscover
to find the story …
your story inside yourself in your art, music…
by learning and looking at another's story.

Come to Orkney...
...a northern Scottish Island. In a small group visit its seascapes, landscapes, cloudscapes.

Worry about nothing. Your stay includes lodging and meals at the “…most enchanting place to stay on Orkney!” Food is prepared with care, organic produce, and served on handmade stoneware. Tours, intimate evening fireside chats, two lunches, art instruction with all materials, and island transfers are all included.

Think of nothing necessary. Just be immersed and be inspired to write, compose or paint your own story.
Summer 2006 pick one of four weeks with art instructor Jeanne Bouza Rose. Art and Archeology: learn unique arts and crafts era watercolor white-line woodblock technique. Be inspired by the archeology and the Neolithic standing stones. Studio accessible 24 hours a day!

Imagine yourself on an island without the heat of a southern summer under the widest of skies with the broadest of rainbows, the roar of the sea, and the cacophony of sea birds…. possible

Always small groups of 6 to 8 participants.

Future week long themes to include “A Taste of Orkney,” Wars and Orkney, Literature on and around Orkney, A Birder’s Delight, Grab the Geology and Seize the Stars, The Archeology and Architecture of Art on Orkney…and more to come 2007.

Or choose the remote and memorable Polynesian island, Easter Island, off the coast of Chile....stones, dancing, crafts of the people

Or return with RoseCrossing in a few years and sample a week in Sedona, Arizona or on Crete, Greece.

More about White-line Woodblocks

Orkney is spirit … color….

"Across the Stromness Harbor"
Watercolor
The Hamnavoe ferry uses this harbor to cross the North Sea and passes the stone stack known as the Old Man of Hoy (click for more White-line Woodblocks, including "Northern Lights," a view of the Old Man of Hoy)

It’s the story…the journey…the place…the people … the light upon the land….

The Orkney islands are north of the Scottish mainland. Thousands of years ago, people found Orkney’s land arable and comforting. They honored their relationship with the land at a time much earlier than Stonehenge and Callanish by marking it with their own great stone megaliths, henges, and tombs. Vikings later came to rob but instead left their runic writing on the stones.

Connect with the beauty of Orkney’s earth and sea, the hearts of its people, and the history of its stones and rolling hills through the stories and knowledge of local experts. Be filled with the widest of cloud filled skies…the rush of a racing stream…the woods and glens that delight earth spirits and fairies…and the roar of the sea as you explore the island.

Experience artistic inspiration with a small group of like-minded people. Lodge at a country manor house, rated by the Rough Guides as the “… most enchanting place to stay on Orkney!” Enjoy food artistically prepared from organic, local ingredients and served on hand thrown pottery.
