The weekend at Isis Oasis

My mother is staying at this amazing retreat in Geyserville and doing a work exchange right now with Jeromie. Lady Lorian is the founder of Isis Oasis and everything she does is in honor of the goddess Isis. There are many temples on the property and a sanctuary for exotic birds and Ocelots.

Me and Mamma on the beach. We stopped on our way to Isis and put our feet in the ocean

Oh SOOOOOO beautiful!!

The sky lodge where they are staying, this is the living room area

It is so cool! At Isis these gorgeous feathers are lying all over ready for the taking

One of the houses on the property, the Nesu lodge is open to everyone..... and haunted! Some of the Isis goers have seen spirits in this house and they have tried to do exorcisms of the place, but apparently the spirits are too strong. Even I felt them. Craaaaaaazzzyyyyy!!!

This is the typical view from the Isis Oasis.... lovely rolling hills and winerys

The lovely Erika, a very cool 19 yr old doing a work exchange at Isis

Mom with one of her feather creations. We are thinking of setting up a booth at a some local flea markets and selling some of our makings. We are thinking about the name KiBaGee feathered creations as the name for our shop.

We just chilled all weekend by the pool, made jewelry and met the people of Isis Oasis... who by the way are some of the most laid-back most energetically in-touch people I have ever met. Some of them talk WAY too much though :D

San Francisco! Finally here....

After a series of intense and very teary goodbyes in Indiana followed by similar flights I arrived on the west coast. My Mom and Jerome (her husband, Cali papa) received me at the airport and we made our way into the heart of San Francisco to my dorm in the lovely Commodore hotel on Sutter st. where we unpacked and met my roomie.   The roommate's name is Angela, she is a super sweetie who loves really smelly floral scents this stuff called Biscoff spread, and the word like. The first night really sucked. I got sick and couldn't stop crying and was all too relieved when Mom and Jerome proposed a weekend get-away to their home at the Isis Oasis in Geyserville!
