morning practice

Morning practice is how I begin each day. It is a way to bridge my night dreaming, fresh morning energy and outlook to the rest of my day. It is both journaling and pure play with my favorite "signature" things as well as elements that have caught my interest and/or speak to me. It has become an important hub around which my creativity turns and a potent creative tool. Morning practice is optimally a daily practice (like yoga) of creating a meditative environment - an oasis of peace, clarity and intention... sinking (relaxing) into the sensual moment and the timelessness of play resulting in a mandala-like assemblage that can be documented...

postcards from Squam...

we arrived

Friday evening

in time

for pink reflections

we lit a fire

and the lantern

and listened

to the song of the loons

and the next day...

Saturday

breakfast was radiant

and we set up

for our class

with the poetic

and lovely miss Alex

we laid down

various grounds

and

cloud

gazed

in our patches

of color

found

many

friends

our

cloud

gazing...

and then

after the fabulous Art Fair

we saw this...

and then

Sunday morning

mmm

breakfast

and

an angel

named Jimmy

with wing-ed fingers

playing piano jazz

and a lean mean boogie woogie...

Rockywold/Deephaven is FULL of angels

thank you:

Becky, John, Zach, Tom, Annie,

and so many others...

and so

we continue

cloud gazing

and

our explorations

of paradise

eventually

take us home

to our truest selves...

eb immersion, lake house workshops...

Come enjoy the bird song, the gliding ferry and sailboats while creating magic on the shores of Lake Champlain. Using the four elements of earth, air, fire and water; we will learn a variety of techniques with which to collaborate with natural processes. We will make marks, imprints and patterns with tea, rust, leaves, seeds and blossoms on fabric and paper. We will wander the beach and gather drift wood, stripeys and holy stones with which to embellish our creations. In this workshop we will explore mark making on fabric and paper using tea, rust, eucalyptus, indigo and asemic writing. As we dance across the color wheel I will share my techniques and thoughts about the potency of deep play and meditative creativity. Bring your boundless curiosity, a playful spirit and a beginner's mind - we will adventurously explore new frontiers.
