About
Inspiring Life
In our practice, living an inspired life is to mindfully engage thought and action in exploring what is compelling about our humanness. With our multisensory abilities of perception—physical and cognitive, we have the potential to sense our experiences with attentive, integrated engagement—bringing about keener awareness of life within and around us.
Creative expression, nature exploration and mindful movement in various forms—are integrative methods of engaging each sense-including our cognitive sense, inviting an integrated awareness and greater potential toward deeper states of equanimity.
The services offered through Awen~Arts, employ techniques that tune one's attention to the moment, helping to foster full - embodied interaction with life.
