More live events in January due to travel plans in February
(Authentic) Smiling (Practice)


Revel in the power of real life smiles discussed virtually (for 15 minutes or longer perhaps). I invite participants to share smiles and experiences as I relate a somewhat brief formal practice of smiling on near daily walks a couple of years ago.

What are thoughts? Are dreams like thoughts?






Let’s powwow for 30 minutes or so on these two questions from my “Distortions and Dreams” event to address any parallels between thoughts and dreams. We may even do some mindfulness of thinking meditation

Silent Standing Meditation

Silent meaning me not talking. Come stand together in meditation, virtually, for 15 minutes. I suggest choosing a comfortable, stable standing stance and meditating on one object. Suggestions: contact at the feet; body posture; or the breathing body.

Interview Me (or Ask Any Kind Of Question About Anything)

For 15 minutes (or more) I challenge myself into the awkward waters of not talking much until participants interview me or ask about anything. It’s also OK just to spectate. Example starter question: what’s something you’d like to ask someone, anyone, but for whatever reason have chosen not to (yet)

Being Seen. Being Heard. Being in Silence, Eyes Closed.


What does it mean to really be seen? Really be heard? To be in silence with closed eyes? Which of these is crying out the most for more nourishment from you & from/for those in your life? Let’s take 15 minutes or so to bounce these around with perhaps some mindfulness of hearing & seeing meditation
