mindfulness & ritual for everyday wonder.
mindfulness is more than a productivity tool.
While the modern mindfulness movement popularly promotes mindfulness for its benefit to corporate productivity, the benefits of mindfulness and meditation far exceed financial application.
Mindfulness is not a tool for the machine; its cultivation isn’t simply a better way to manage stress at your day job.
Mindfulness is a tool for living a meaningful life, activating creative energy, and cultivating a deep relationship with yourself, those around you, and the natural world we are blessed to call home.
It is about digging deeply into the world and getting both hands dirty. An exploration of what it means to be alive, on this one planet, in this one precious moment.
How do we find meaning? How do we make meaning? How do we make sense of a world that so often seems senseless?
How do we find wonder in the mundane tasks of our lives? In the small, ordinary things that comprise each moment? In those moments that make up each year? And in the years that make up a lifetime?
Many people spend their lives seeking a sense of belonging and engagement with the world.
But what if you had the tools to engage with wonder in the ordinary, as well as in the extra-ordinary now?
What if you could engage life in high resolution detail? What if you were able to explore the texture, contours, and movement of a moment - and not get knocked over?
What if you could live deep and wide and wild without even leaving home?
Creativity beyond just creating
People often conflate creativity with creating.
But creativity is so much more than just making, singing, writing or performing.
The works that we create are a wonderful byproduct of creativity - but the energy source of creativity runs deeper. It is an underground river with myriad channels and tributaries.
That spark that drives you, that motivates you, that gets you excited.
That’s creative energy.
Inspiration, excitement, engagement are all borne of the creative.
When we are tapped into creative energy, we are tapped into the infinite spark at the heart of the world.
It is here that otherwise mundane experiences take on a new level of engagement and wonder.
Having the tools to cultivate a moment-to-moment relationship with a deep well of creative energy will help you create from a place of more authenticity, flow, and connection.
Hi, I’m Laura.
“My personal goal as a teacher is to bring my students the gifts that I have received from practice - a stronger resilience to the ups and downs of life; a deep appreciation for the interconnected nature of the world in which we live; a greater capacity for connected, meaningful relationships; the ability to activate and maintain creative flow; and the grace to allow greater self-compassion in every moment. These gifts can all be accessed through a set of precise and effective tools.
I want to share this work with you as a way to bring a brightness and curiosity to each moment, as a means to infuse everything with the life and creativity of the force that powers the beating heart of the world.”
