You are invited to participate in this brief encounter with a beautiful text in a friendly atmosphere. Here our aim will be to saturate ourselves with openness and overcome fear of what is most mysterious.
In this class we will explore the acts of reading, writing and looking at the sky. We will collectively and individually recite and think from a set of chosen texts, write together and alone, share what we’ve written, read aloud and practice pausing. Through our visual and visceral engagement, we will unearth our wonder, compose a tone, learn to slow and soften our relationships to speech and space. Through this more relaxed relating, what might seem commonplace can be mysterious; what appears immediate might be limitless.
This class enrolls up to 21 students and will include 3 sessions. New classes will start every two months.
Listen to the sounds of the Music Chamber, try Changing Your Mood, enjoy the Freedom of Wind or explore more of the Wind Element.
