Online: Creativity, Spirituality & Making a Buck Interactive Workshop
with David Nichtern
Thursday, June 15th, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET
If you feel stuck in any of the three areas of creativity, practice, or livelihood or could benefit from an exploration of the underlying principles that can lead to greater integration and harmony in your life, join us for a special guest workshop with Buddhist teacher and four-time Emmy award-winning and two-time Grammy-nominated composer and musician, David Nichtern.
Based on his book Creativity, Spirituality & Making a Buck (Wisdom Publications), David will lead us in a lively and interactive workshop investigating our individual life puzzle through the lens of personal well-being, creative expression, and livelihood.
Bring your issues, questions, confusion, and insight, and we’ll get into a juicy discussion about joining your heaven and your earth – your sublime vision and your everyday sticky reality.
Open to all levels. The workshop includes meditation instruction & practice, talk, discussion, and individual and group process.
