I am Maxine Culpa. Along with my late daughter Mia, I first became aquainted with Saint Sybian through our husband, Composer Felix Sebastian Culpa. He was born and raised in Calabria, Italia, near the site of the ancient Greek settlement of Sybaris, in the last century. When he was thirteen, Sybian began to appear to him, initiating him into her spiritual and sensual world. Felix, who was forced to disappear after unfortunate and definitely unsaintlike events , told us of Sybian's devotion to the pleasures of the father's creation: food, drink, the arts (particularly music and dance) all nature ---especially the body!! With the help of American Musicologist Patrick Lockwood, I have written these entries. Now, He also has been taken from us. Our new Scribe is Daniel Pierce, and our new Goddesss is Esperanza, whom Sybian herself has ordained. I hope that all who view this site will be encouraged to let their minds and senses wander to discover the voluptuous gifts the father freely gives us. Newcomers are urged to go to the earliest postings.

Mass Appeal

Immediately upon getting out of the van, the girls could feel the freshness and smell the freedom of the estate. There was just a general feeling of happiness. As they followed Francesca and Ramona down the wood paths toward the campgrounds and lakefront, they stopped and munched on the mint and other plants that grew along the path. Smiles and laughter were everywhere.

“Do you like to dance? Do you like to take pictures? Do you like to sing? You can do all that here. Plus swimming and laying in the sun, and munching on all the fruits that grow around here.”

Some of the girls ran all around, overflowing with energy. Others like Samantha and a girl named Denise, preferred to sit and talk with Francesca and Ramona.


They found the dance costumes from Maxine’s classes and had fun acting out fantasy of ancient times, and just running around…





















The older girls relaxed by the water, drinking berry punch, and fruit in cream, taking each other’s pictures and feeling more uninhibited. Ramona was sure to keep the younger girls occupied with the games, so the older ones would be comfortable with their young-adulthood.




It was wonderful to see these strait-laced girls, loosen up with no one around, and have Francesca and Ramona show them what Vita Voluptua was about. Opening up to nature, they glimpsed the many pleasures life could hold for them.

There was a feeling of such naturalness and freedom to them. DULCE PRIMAVERA!!! Once, Esperanza and Danny wandered by to see how they were doing and the girls just giggled; it was Danny who turned away, totally embarrassed. Even Esperanza had to laugh. Sybian , no doubt, was quite proud.
