A Journey in Contemplative Arts
Discovering a life that's so much more than a white knuckle ride
Chatoyance is a surface optical property of some materials. It causes them to appear differently when seen from different angles and produces a narrow band of reflected light from beneath the surface. As the direction of light changes the band of light moves.
As metaphor, the practice of mindfulness, the practice of tuning into frequencies of sound and healing tones, and the practice of asking questions of ourselves all offer different and deepening perspective. These practices have the potential to illuminate, to move a life in a more intentional direction. They can support us in getting clarity on what intention we bring to a day and in tuning in to the good and to the light around us. This invites our own inner light to the surface and that reflects , in turn, to the world around. This we can offer ourselves and offer each other.

WITH INQUIRY
How are you doing, we ask each other.
How often do we ask ourselves that? And how often do we take the present moment, or a period of contemplation, to look for an answer, get a sense of where we are and where we might want to head. Exploring one or all of the dimensions of wellbeing, the Eight Limbs of Yoga or the Eightfold Path, vibrations of sound or a simple practice of sitting and tuning in are all worthy routes of exploration to find answers that can lead to a fuller and more present experience of life and the world around us
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Learning to bring our attention to the present moment, seeing what arises and not judging it, using the breath as the anchor for present moment awareness, learning to notice our thoughts without attaching to them and then bringing this awakened awareness into our lives - this is the practice of mindfulness.
Lessons are offered in one to one or group classes.
