Mesmerizing

Dear Mylene,

Your words and your voice are truly mesmerizing.

Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to listen to your speech, "To Dance With Language". I love the way you reach something "new" every time I read your words and listen to your eloquent voice. Though it is, "new and different than I've known"; but a familiar language echoes to an understanding in my heart.

Beautiful, rich, deep, and moving, I am looking forward to more.

You help me SO much more than you know, Mylene!

Thank you again, and again.:-)

Truly,
Catherine Nagle

Hi Mylene, I love this

Hi Mylene,

I love this video. It is wonderfully insightful, and when you read Dante in Italian, you breathe life into the words.

You are a vision of grace! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see this video.

Thanks, Rebbecca

Thanks, Rebbecca. Hope you are well, strong. I loved reading the Dante aloud. Let's all do it more often.

My best,

Mylène

Transfixed

Amazing! I loved every word. Your comparison of dance and words is brilliant. I choreographed a dance "to words" for a favorite young dancer. We performed it for a women's conference. It was called "Woman, thou art loosed." And it was a healing for many women.

How lovely the romance languages. How precise your languages. I will be back in Texas this month - not sure for how long. I hope to find an event that is open to the public to hear you live.

You have inspired my day.

Dear Sharon

Dear Sharon, thank you again! I'll be in Texas this fall--you can see my schedule on my Events page here on Red Room--and would be delighted to see you. I'm looking forward especially to my two events at the Lake Austin Spa and Resort. I'm planning to gather an intimate group of women there for a discussion of what moves us, body and soul (this will be a nice change from the large-scale lecture format, which is what I normally do). Please do consider yourself invited.

And now: to work!
