"Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed."  
~Thich Nhat Hanh

"Regardless of how we get there, either through meditation or more directly by paying attention to novelty and questioning assumptions, to be mindful is to be in the present, noticing all the wonders that we didn't realize were right in front of us." ~ Ellen J. Langer

I teach many different types of classes in a variety of venues: technique classes at dance and theatre venues, college classes about the arts, as well as creativity workshops and Feldenkrais movement classes at The Center for Mindful Living. From the outside, this varied curriculum might seem only loosely related but from my perspective these courses all share an important common thread. In all cases, I aim to help students see themselves as more creative by helping them learn to look and listen and sense and feel with greater awareness.

It's as though the artist within us has been sleeping for many years and then, as we begin to live more mindfully and grow in awareness, this inner artist begins to stir. But how to wake from such a deep slumber?

Stuff Happens...

​Pema Chodron teaches that "...we don't sit in Meditation to become good Meditators. We sit in Meditation so that we'll be more aware in our lives." We practice Meditation to get to know the person with whom we spend every day of our life. The basic practice involves the development of three core components: Concentration, Mindfulness, and Insight. Each of these three components is interrelated. Concentration and Mindfulness are used to cultivate a deepening attention, which then facilitates the realization of Insight.
