SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2013
CALISTOGA SPA HOT SPRINGS
The
Man Who Would Be King by Rudyard Kipling is the story we will discuss
in the morning. After lunch we
will view the movie of the same name.
This story is available in many editions, print, e-books, or
online. It is only 25 to 35 pages
long.
This is a one day mini-retreat at
Calistoga Spa Hot Springs, 1006 Washington St., Calistoga, CA 94515
707-942-6269 calistogaspa.com.
Register for Sunday on
the form below. We have limited
space available and we expect this event to fill up soon. Saturday fills up sooner so if you can make it on Sunday that would be great. Please register as soon as you
can. Calistoga is a lovely small
town at the northern end of the Napa Valley at the foot of Mt. St. Helena. You are on your own for lunch. There are many excellent restaurants
and delis in town, but no fast food, it’s against the law.
Plan
to arrive around 9am. We will have
breakfast available if you need something to start the day. We will discuss the story beginning at
10am for two hours and break for lunch.
In the afternoon we will watch the movie and have a short discussion
after that. We will close the day
with some cheese and a sip of wine and be finished by around 5pm.
This story, one of Kipling’s
best, describes the journey of two half-mad yet determined Englishmen from
obscurity in India to divine rule in far-off Kafiristan. They smuggle
themselves into Afghanistan, steal mules when their camels give out, trek over
vast mountains, and one sets himself up as a god-king of the more primitive
locals. Soon, they are discovered
to be only human. A great adventure story.
The
movie, directed by John Huston, stars Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Christopher
Plummer, and Saeed Jaffrey. It
received Oscars for Art-Set Decoration, Costume Design, Film Editing, and
Writing, Screenplay Adapted From Other Material.
Cost: $30.00 per person.
