~ in memory of Thich Nhat Hahn ~

For Rest - Register thru link in bio or https://stplacid.org/programs-rg/1957/zoom-cinema-divina-rest/

Beloved Zen teacher Thich Nhat Han writes in How to Relax, “…if you’re rested and relaxed, all living beings will profit from your energy. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”

Our most basic peace work!

For me, even for the sake of peace, stopping is hard, stillness is harder, and resting without checking out is some kind of mystical art. This session offers a cinematic meditation on the paradox that to rest is a kind of work.

I will guide participants through a contemplative screening process with a short film I've made for this session. Participants will be invited into reverent silences, writing, sharing and spacious listening.

All are welcome — beginners and long-time contemplative practitioners. No prior experience necessary.

Scholarships are available!

Loss comes in many forms—a job, a relationship, a pregnancy, a home, physical and cognitive abilities, the death of a sister, brother, friend, child, spouse or parent…. With loss comes grief, and grieving is different for each of us but many arrive at the same question CS Lewis did in his book, A Grief Observed: “Meanwhile, where is God?” This session kicks off the third Cinema Divina season at the Priory Spirituality Center with a cinematic meditation on grieving and this question: How is Love Moving in My Life Right Now?

I will guide participants through a contemplative screening process with a short film made for this session, entitled, Like the Air. You’ll be invited into reverent silences, writing, sharing and spacious listening.

All are welcome — beginners and long-time contemplative practitioners.

DM me if you like.

B-day love and courage from the Woods. In the form

B-day love and courage from the Woods. In the form of - presto - a shark fin. The very young (twin) Wood boys are featured in my all time fave video about saving the world, being brave and, oh yeah, your all important shark fin. @akwoodulookyhere #bebrave #scorpio #sharingthelove #gratefulheart #redefiningfamily
