Hey beautiful people!<br><br>I&#39;ve got the info you need to get to the party site this weekend. Again, it&#39;s at a beautiful spot up in the hills where a small community of folks live. Definitely a paradise that you deserve to be &quot;touched&quot; by! I&#39;m really stoked because I thought I wouldn&#39;t be able to go, but yesterday I found out I would have it free after all. Woo hoo! See you there!<br>

<br>*Right now I&#39;m thankful for the dawn chorus and the miracles that it brings - of feeling inspired, connected and that anything is possible.*<br><br>Love,<br>Devin<br clear="all">
