TUNING IN
CULTIVATING EASE in BODY, MIND & SPIRIT
To cultivate a less stressful way of being in the world, in Tuning In we practice tuning the instrument of body-mind-spirit through the heart of inspiration and creative movement , letting go of what doesn’t serve us and welcoming in new inspiration.
In any given Tuning In workshop, we might explore:
- Moving from a felt-sense
- Writing with the body
- Sounding from the heart
- Breath
- Stillness
- Cultivating a body with ease
- Resting in the new view

EXPLORING ART & PRESENCE
THE CREATIVE BODY
As a student of awareness and dance, I like to explore art & presence through creative movement and visualization.
One of the ways we explore the creative body in these workshops is through envisioning the Body as paintbrush and Space as canvas. The Tao of Painting mentions that if an artist wants to paint in the way of simplicity, they should study the lines of complexity ~ “Bury your brush again and again.”
Or, we might explore the image of following a moving thread of presence and felt-sense:
The feeling is infinite
The instrument is limited
How can I find my way?
What does freedom feel like in this moving body instrument?
in the maze of what it seems like and how it actually can be~Exploring Art & Presence workshops are a great way to access the artist within and break through self-imposed barriers to the freedom of creative moving and being.

EXPRESSING THE SECRET HEART
CONTEMPLATIVE & SACRED MOVEMENT
Movement, rhythm, melody, feeling, and expression are doorways into the Mystery of the Heart of Love.
There are many schools of meditation. And inside the schools, there are many steps. Things we feel, concentrate upon, learning to feel within our hearts. Sometimes we find our heart is closed. Then what can we do?
Sometimes we start with a movement or with a feeling. Sometimes we use rhythm as foundation, or melody. Any kind of feeling is fuel for this fire of Love.
In Expressing the Secret Heart seminars, we often use
- Ritual
- Fun & Humor
- Exploration of Movement
- Writing and Sound
- World music
- Poetry from the Mystics
Expressing the Secret Heart workshops are an invitation to join a deeply embodied contemplative practice. It doesn’t matter what kind of shape you think you are in or not in. Jump in to try something that is simply fun, a way of learning, and an expression of our secret heart.
