THE JOURNEY TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER

THE JOURNEY TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Two sessions presented by: Teresa Carpenter, Ashley West, Pamela Moran, and M.A. Taylor

A full day of delving into our characters' emotional, physical and spiritual development. The Journey to Happily Ever After involves a dance of self awareness and titillating physicality. The heart, the soul, the body must unite for your characters to find true and sustainable happiness. And for your book to go from being a good read to one for the keeper shelf.

Pamela Moran and M.A. Taylor will take attendees on the Heroine's Journey through the eyes of Tarot's Fool. Did you know the Tarot’s Major Arcana tells and shows character development? The Fool starts the journey and step by step the Major Arcana shows us how the character can develop. Join Pam and Margaret as we take your Heroine through the Fool’s Journey.

Teresa Carpenter and Ashley West step into the provocative world of intimacy and vulnerability, both physically and mentally. They'll explore the 12 Steps of Intimacy from first glance to making love. Each step integral to the bonding of mind and body. Then Teresa and Ashley will take it one progression further revealing the 7 Elements of Mature Love that if used effectively will demonstrate that your characters have truly found their happily ever after.

As time allows we'll have speed rounds of applying what you've learned to your own story. Come prepared to all the way emotionally, spiritually and physically. Oh my.

This meeting will be held in the Anchor Room D-1 at the Marina Village Conference Center.
