Meditation and Interpersonal engagement
Saturday 29 July
Drawing on the concept of metta, and the practice of insight dialogue, this session will examine ways that we can share the meditation experience with others. One part of the session includes participants engaging in deep, rich discussions with a person with whom they are paired. The purpose of this session is to show how meditation can encourage a more creative approach to listening and engaging with others.
Between Words and Music: Creative Explorations of the Self
Saturday 23 September
How do you encourage a creative mindset? Creativity is more than ideas and action. It is also a state of being – of moving through life with a sense of purpose and fluidity. Explore this state of creative awareness, self-awareness and reality at this meditative, interactive event with Dr Nadine Cameron and musician SnowBorne (David Rosa). In this guided meditation, surrender to the breath and the unique physical and sensory experiences that can occur when music, personal memories and spoken word combine.
Presented by Sydney Opera House
