<H1>APRIL 2007 - SPAIN: Entering the Castle -- Caroline Myss Shopping Cart</H1> <I>St Teresa of Avila, The Famous Walled City</I> <P> Avila is World heritage. Two things distinguish Avila: its eleventh-century walls, two perfectly preserved kilometers of which surround the old town, and the mystic writer Santa Teresa, who was born here and whose shrines are a major focus of religious pilgrimage. Set on a high plain, with the peaks of the Sierra de Gredos behind, the town is quite a sight, especially if you time it right and approach with the evening sun highlighting the golden tone of the walls and the details of the 88 towers. <br><br> Convento de Santa Teresa<br> Inside the south wall on Calle Dama, the Convento de Santa Teresa was founded in the 17th century on the site of the saint's birthplace. Teresa's famous written account of an ecstatic vision in which an angel pierced her heart would influence many Baroque artists, most famously the Italian sculptor Giovanni Bernini. The convent has a small museum with relics -- including one of Teresa's fingers; you can also see the small and rather gloomy garden where she played as a child.<br><br> Palacio de los Velada<br> Palacio de los Velada is the place to stay in Avila, so if you can afford it, do not think twice. Location couldn&#8217;t be better... The building called Torreon de los Velada comprises several houses dating from the fifteenth century. They were all substantially reformed during the sixteenth century, preserving their medieval air. The House of los Velada presumably had a very active life until well into the seventeenth century and was frequented by monarchs and courtiers. Proximity to the Cathedral and the Bishop&#8217;s Palace, made of it a suitable lodge for sovereigns or courtiers. <br><br> Wednesday: Workshop at Palacio de los Velada: Evening <br> Thursday: Tour / Workshop<br> Friday: Tour / Workshop<br> Saturday: Tour / Workshop<br> Sunday: Tour / Workshop<br> Monday: Morning lecture / Workshop is over<br><br> Total Price Includes: Workshops / All meals / Lodging <br> Single $3,299 US <br> Double $2,875 US (per person) <br> Please specify your roommate, or we will do this for you.<br><br> <B>Flights not included.</B> Deposit: $1,500 US.<br> Balance to be paid 60 days prior to trip. <br> Reservation For Avila, Spain <br><br> <B>Cancellations:</B> <br> &#8226; Written cancellation immediately after registration: $1,500 US cancellation fee per person .<br> &#8226; Cancellation within 30 days prior to departure: no refund. <br> &#8226; No refund for unused portions of the tour, including but not limited to, missed meals, hotel nights and sightseeing. <br><br> Contact us: David@myss.com </P> <P> <LI>SKU: balance </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://store.myss.com/Category74" TITLE="CMED INSTITUTE">CMED INSTITUTE</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://store.myss.com/Product1641 TITLE="Robert Ohotto - Embracing Your Soul's Schedule, Jan 14 - 17, 2010">Robert Ohotto - Embracing Your Soul's Schedule, Jan 14 - 17, 2010</A> -- Living Your Most Potent Potential in 2010 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://store.myss.com/Product1629 TITLE="Feb 11-14, 2010: Defy Gravity: Know the Graces &amp; Shadow Passions of Your Soul">Feb 11-14, 2010: Defy Gravity: Know the Graces & Shadow Passions of Your Soul</A> -- Feb 11 - 14, 2010 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://store.myss.com/Product1630 TITLE="April 22-25, 2010: Defy Gravity: The Application of Mystical Laws into Your Everyday Life">April 22-25, 2010: Defy Gravity: The Application of Mystical Laws into Your Everyday Life</A> -- April 22 - 25, 2010 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://store.myss.com/Product1647 TITLE="June 10 - 13, 2010 - Navigating Change In Your Everyday Life Workshop">June 10 - 13, 2010 - Navigating Change In Your Everyday Life Workshop</A> -- Caroline Myss & Lynn Bell <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://store.myss.com/Product1631 TITLE="Sept 23 - 26, 2010: Crisis &amp; Transformation Workshop">Sept 23 - 26, 2010: Crisis & Transformation Workshop</A> -- Caroline Myss & James Finley </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://store.myss.com" TITLE="Caroline Myss Products">Caroline Myss Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.myss.com">Caroline Myss</A> <BR>Caroline Myss <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
