The year has flown by and we are nearing the 2013 Official Xena Convention which has been billed as "The Final Journey Part 2).

Zoe Bell (Lucy's incredible stunt double) has been added to the guest list. Here's the full list (so far).

Renee won't be a guest but will have her awareness introduction.

"Introduction to Awareness"
A SPECIAL WORKSHOP WITH RENEE O'CONNOR
(Scheduled for Saturday Morning)

Awareness is the practice of paying attention to thoughts and emotions with sincere curiosity and withholding any judgments or expectations on what we are truly feeling. This three hour introductory class includes observing our conceptualizations of the Self, as a contrast to realizing our natural essence of Being love, compassion, and light.

Renee is only doing a workshop at this convention.

Calli has created a gorgeous new Xena Poster - check it out below! I love this show so when I see artwork like this, it stokes the fires! Not bad for a show that has been off the air for 12 years.

You can find more of Calli's work on http://calliscreations.com

Today (in the US) is Xena's 17th Birthday - can you believe it? This show that has changed so many lives; from the actors / producers / crew to the fans has created something so unique, so special. It has created The Xenaverse - go over to the AUSXIP Charity Site to see the generosity, the love, the downright brilliance that is the Xenaverse in action. The Xenaverse has raised over 15 MILLION dollars for various charities in the last 17 years. What an amazing, incredible generosity of spirit this show has produced.

It is because of Xena: Warrior Princess we have all come together. It is because of Rob Tapert's vision, the brilliance of Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor who created the roles we fell in love with. We have a community that no only has grown to be such a force for good but it brings in new fans every day. It without a doubt the best show ever made; I know of no other that has impacted the lives of so many.

THE POWER, THE PASSION, THEIR COURAGE CHANGED OUR WORLD! Hail The Warrior Princess and Her Bard and the Xenaverse!

After 17 years this opening theme to my favourite show of all time still gives me a thrill

"In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. The power. The passion. The danger. Her courage will change the world."

Here's the second part of the interview Benjamin Dane conducted with Renee about the movie Beyond The Farthest Star
