Chefs
Charlie and Marion Cascio
Charlie Cascio, internationally-renown
chef, restaurateur, natural foods consultant and lecturer,
has taught and worked throughout the United States and Europe
for the past 34 years. His award-winning cuisine has garnered
rave reviews in both the US and Europe . Recently retired
as the head chef for The Esalen Institute, Charlie has been
devoting his time to writing a cookbook commissioned by
Esalen and appears frequently as guest chef for both Wilbur
Hot Springs and Esalen.
Marion
Cascio was born into a family of chefs and began her involvement
with fine restaurants in early childhood. Her 5 year study
of the culinary arts at a prestigious cooking school in
Germany led to her work in many highly regarded restaurants
and spas where her superb talents have been well received.
Marion is known especially for her sumptuous desserts that
push the sated diner over a blissful edge. For the past
5 years, Marion has been a staff chef at the Esalen Institute.
Charlie
and Marion live completely self-sufficiently on land in
Big Sur where they keep goats, bees, chickens, and an abundant
organic garden. The love and joy they have for their art
is immediately apparent in their fabulous fare. During their
weekend at Wilbur, they will marry healthy, organic cuisine
with exceptional taste.

2008
Writing Workshops with Clive Matson
October
23,25,26 "Writing and Powerful
Experience"
Do
you ever wonder how Sylvia Plath or Dylan Thomas did such
remarkable writing? They were so close to their creativity
they may simply have recorded the images rising through
their minds. In these workshops we call that creative
source the "Crazy Child", and we avoid the usual
editorial judgments. We let that Child write!
No matter if it is stories, poems, a play, songs or an ecstatic
essay, the Child's words will likely contain our most vivid
writing. And when we share our writing, the workshop
will inform us more quickly than we could discover on our
own exactly what that memorable writing is. The Crazy
Child writes, and we learn from the words. Technically,
this kind of writing is proprioceptive dealing
with the stories contained in our nervous systems; it is
unpredictable and imparts texture, flair and power to language.
For beginners, for intermediate writers and for professionals
who want to expand their horizons
Clive
Matson, author of Let the Crazy Child
Write! (New World Library, 1998)
is a poet, story writer, essayist, and playwright who has
led more than 3000 workshops nationwide.
His
new book is Chalcedony's First Ten Songs.
"Extravagant, rich and powerful - these poems
are a vibrant call to body and spirit and earth through
the sensory world. It's as if Clive Matson's early voice
lost its anger and returns to embrace sensual life in all
its joys and pains."
Discussion
of the topic begins at 8pm the first evening, main workshop
at 11am the next day, participants' reading at 8p.m that
evening and a closing session at 10am the final day.
Our writing takes place in large chunks of time woven between
relaxing in the mineral springs, walks and massages.
Average
contribution for the workshop is $150
For room reservations,
rates and to register, call (530) 473-2306 or for more information,
