Freedom Friday April 2013
A monthly collection of freedom-affirming experiences…
SPIRIT
Timeless – New Music from Jami Sieber
Nourish your spirit with a brand new album from cellist Jami Sieber. Timeless invokes a realm where inner experience – be it meditation, massage, movement, or stillness – is deepened and intensified. This is powerful musical medicine, and you can find it here. Jami was my guide on a wonderful trip to Thailand two years ago which I wrote about in this post: “Elephants, Buddhas, Smiles, and Remembrance.” You can hear some of her music on the slideshow included in that post.
Being Breath
Lisa Wilson, creator of one of my favorite blogs, Life Unity, has moved into a new online home called Being Breath. It promises to hold all kinds of rich gifts, including a free e-book and connections with like-minded folks who want to integrate mindfulness into everyday life experiences such as parenting, relationships, and more.
CREATIVITY
Write Your Book!
Is writing a nonfiction book on your bucket list? Author and coach Debbie Reber has created a short video series full of tips on how to write, sell, and publish your book. It’s called Book Breaks and it’s a tremendous free resource.
FINANCES + LIVELIHOOD
Transform Your Relationship With Money
Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money, will present “Fundraising from the Heart” at Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, June 28 – 30. This workshop is especially for nonprofit leaders, but will also be meaningful to anyone who wants to transform their relationship with money. Lynne is a powerful teacher — don’t miss this one!
WORLD WE LIVE IN
Buddhist Education for Social Transformation
And finally…speaking of Thailand, I’ve been invited to teach this summer at the inaugural session of the Buddhist Education for Social Transformation (BEST) project. BEST supports Asian activists and social change movements to apply Buddhist principles of nonviolence to their work. I need help to raise the funds to travel to Chiang Mai and I’ve set up this Indiegogo page for this purpose. If you’d like to give me a hand, I would so much appreciate it!
What are you excited about this month? What great stuff do you know about to share with all of us? Leave a comment below… I’d love to hear about it!
