THE ART OF SEEING
An online workshop with Cynthia Overweg (3 sessions)
June 25-27, 2021 (Fri – Sun, 10 am PT/ 1 pm ET)
“In the art of seeing lies the miracle of transformation.”
Krishnamurti
Seeing with the inner perception that transcends the ordinary mind is not common for most of us, but neither is it the exclusive domain of the few. To see without the filter of thought happens of its own accord ― it’s not something that we can do. But there is something we can give: our attention. The quality of our attention determines the quality of our seeing. In order to “see” we need to get out of our own way. At the same time, when the mind is completely silent, no-one is there, just the seeing.
The aim of our workshop is to relax into inner quietude and explore what prevents us from being in communion with the seeing awareness that is transformative and timeless. Each of our three sessions includes a presentation, intervals of body relaxation, sacred music, and the inner quietude we need to delve into the art of seeing as directly as we can. Our focus will be on two of Krishnamurti’s insights: “In the art of seeing lies the miracle of transformation” and “The way you perceive is what you are.”
There will also be time for questions and sharing in a supportive space of friendship and mutual caring we co-create as a group. We can envision our time together as an adventure into the possibility of a deeper dimension of seeing ― the seeing which draws us closer to the hidden beauty within us.
