  • Happy New Year from the beautiful shores of the Ganga in Rishikesh! It glows this stunning blue green, coursing down from the Himalaya. Incredibly in India, again. The adventure to get here was full of surprises. Here are a few pics. The river is steps away from the ashram. My room is spacious but also quite cold and dark. It’s chilly here - had to buy a hat and gloves and but the sun came out today. Our rigorous training begins tomorrow. I get to choose between harmonium or sitar lessons. I originally wanted to continue with harmonium, but I might choose sitar! I’ll take a lesson in both and see what feels right. There are only 8 students in my program - one of the smallest groups the school has seen (sometimes up to 40 students)! Brazil, Denmark, Croatia, Italy, France, India are represented. I will relish the smaller group training. This first photo today was after our welcome ceremony by the river, asking Ganga for her blessing. Wishing you all peaceful, magical, vibrant adventure in 2020! xoxo Mary

  • Craving some rejuvenating, quirky, and magical adventure in your future? Come soak it up at the Creativity & Yoga Retreat in the High Desert // Taos, NM // June 3-7 2020 // Earlybird special EXTENDED til 1/31 - happy holidays! // marybue.com/Taos Welcome to the Land of Enchantment. Taos, New Mexico is the southwest dreamscape that we always fantasize of and may forever long for. These are the landscapes of rich red dirt in Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings, the Long Quiet Highway of Natalie Goldberg’s books, and that which inspires hundreds of artists, creators, mystics, and nature lovers every year. We will visit living structures and communities both ancient and new whose dreams are ALIVE. We’ll luxuriate in mineral springs under the full Sagittarius moon. We will hike along the Rio Grande River Gorge, the silent mesa home to blooming cacti, jackrabbits, coyote, and big horned sheep with the winding river echoing below. We’ll visit O’Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch, the Earthship Biotecture eco-community, and an option to visit the Taos Pueblo community if open (visitation varies during seasonal and ceremonial times), and wander the winding streets for a Saturday afternoon’s open galleries. We’ll weave in yoga practices & mindful movement to unwind tension and prepare the body-mind to settle into inner landscapes through creative writing practice, dream work, and reverent (or, irreverent!) group sharing. Explore how a sacred landscape can inspire lasting, incredibly unique, and awe-inspiring beauty. Explore how a landscape within can reveal the same. In this retreat, we will venture to internal depths and gaze into literal external depths (deep into the Rio Grande river gorge!). We’ll learn about how sustainable, creative, and adaptable humans can be. We’ll bask in our own deep pools of unending bliss while soaking in fabulous Ojo Caliente mineral hot springs under the full high desert moon. More info: marybue.com/Taos

  • Three years ago I got to live for three months in an adobe casita in Taos, New Mexico, basically sleeping next to the grand piano, waking up to walk along the Rio Grande River Gorge and allowing the songs to cosmicly download (this is where I wrote Shit Storm), go to sleep listening to the coyotes howl, and wake again to find some hot springs or run the mountain trails. Many thanks to Helene Wurlitzer Foundation for the artist in residence grant!! . This landscape is something I deeply crave, almost on the daily. Always trying to figure out ways to get back there. And guess what -- you guessed it! I wanna share this incredible place with you and see if it inspires the same magic as it does in my heart! Join me June 3-7th 2020 for the Creativity & Yoga Retreat in the High Desert // Taos, New Mexico. We will soak at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa underneath the full moon, go to Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch, tour the EarthShip Biotecture., visit Tao's myriad wonderful galleries, hike along the Rio Grande River Gorge, practice yoga & meditation, creative writing, resting, swimming in Blue Sky Retreat's chili pepper shaped pool and more. The earlybird ends December 15th! marybue.com/taos HOWEVER if you place a deposit before the 15th, I'll extend the earlybird deal :) Really hope to share time with you in Taos. BIG LOVE!!!! and tons more retreat info here: marybue.com/taos Painted in Taos 2017 / mixed media additions 2019 :)
