Joyful Awakening Through Creative Self-Expression
with Nina Wise
Sunday, November 3rd, 2019 | 10:00am to 4:30pm
In this daylong retreat, we will practice both silent meditation and robust creative self-expression. Contemplative practices and expressive practices enhance one another; in concert they quiet the mind, calm the heart, give rise to insight and happiness, and release our wildness.
The weekend will include periods of stillness, movement, easy improv games and storytelling which together form a fully embodied spiritual practice. These practices are designed to raise your spirits, inspire personal insight, create community, expand awareness, enhance self-confidence and develop presence and craft as a leader or performer.
Leave with tools you can apply to your personal and professional lives. Open to all.
Nina Wise is giving a Friday evening talk, “Exploring Peace in Our Hearts” at New York Insight on Friday, November 1st, 2019. Click here for more information and registration.
