A small One-Day Gathering of
Friends, focused on Being Present in the Moment.
Everything in our lives; our work and play, our
communications and relationships, our health, well
being and livelihood all benefit from our ability to
focus on the present moment. This is where our
creativity stems from. It’s where our insights and
genius blossom and our soulful knowing about
everything that matters to us. The following is a
quote from Susan Warm, who came with her son to her
first Gathering in April. "Everything, every
minute, every feeling I had during the gathering was
just perfect. I can't remember a time in my life
where I have sat for over 6 hours in a room full of
complete strangers and felt so comfortable and at
ease. It was amazing how quickly the day flew by.”
Every
workshop/retreat/gathering I’ve ever held is really
about love. That is at the center. And each one is
about our desire as humans to feel a part of
something larger than ourselves. That is where I
wish to serve. I’ll use my songs to inspire our
conversations. There will be lots of laughter and
conversation. I will share my insights and if you
are moved to, you may wish to share yours. We’ll do
a couple of short meditations during the day, and
we’ll go outside and walk along the Tolt River to be
reminded that we are a part of Nature and that life
is richer and more beautiful when we live day to day
in that awareness.
This
gathering will be small, probably 10 - 25 people. I
will likely do a larger one later this year, but
because of the space of the venue; The Loft at The
Barn in Carnation, I will keep this first event
somewhat small. This rustic, restored Loft is where
I held a songwriting event a couple of years back
and I loved the closeness, the intimacy of the warm,
rustic space. Carnation is about 35 minutes from
Seattle. If you’ve never been there, you’ll love the
country drive, the foothills of the Cascade
Mountains, the Tolt River and small family farms of
the area.
No one is ever put “on the spot” at
my events. I realize that some people will feel
moved to speak and share, while others may be happy
to just settle in and listen. There are always some
who come by themselves, others who come in couples
or in groups of friends. Sometimes two or more
generations of a family will attend. I love the
combinations that surprise me every time. This is
what I have seen since my very first Gathering of
Friends; the most enjoyable part of your day will
likely be some meaningful conversation you have with
someone you’ve never met before, as we walk along a
path or take a break to casually enjoy each other.
If you feel moved to join us, I hope you’ll come.
