Dumbo feather, pass it on … is a ‘mook’ – half mag, half book. In each quarterly issue, 5 remarkable individuals tell you their stories. Here’s what the current issue looks like, except it’s far more dashing ‘in the flesh’. Inside are interviews with guerilla knitter and founder of Knitta, Please Magda Sayeg; Carmelina Ricciardello from the Sicilian Experience, the talented and playful German photographer, Jan von Holleben; award-winning Kiwi restaurateur and owner of Fleur’s Place, Fleur Sullivan; and my friend, the surfing, ex-Buddhist monk, Christos ‘Dorje’ Walker.

This retreat is now fully booked. Our next retreat is on 19-21 November 2010.
