Miksang – Mindful Photography Exploration

Tuesdays 4-6pm Jan 7 & 21, Feb 4 & 18

Miksang – a mindful photography exploration in the forest 🌳🌳🪷📸💫🌳🌳
Next Tuesday (21st Jan) from 4-6pm

Miksang means ‘Good Eye’ in Tibetan & is a form of contemplative photography in which the eye is synchronized with the introspective mind. It asks us to see our world in a new way. In some ways it seems very simple, but it is not so easy to let go of our conditioning, our likes & dislikes, our stories, our techniques & to see the true beauty & ordinary magic of the world in front of you.

The session will start with an introduction to mikasang & a short meditative practice followe by time for you to explore miksang for yourself.

It is suitable for all – no experience (of anything) is necessary. Just bring something to take photos with.

For more info on Miksang you can watch this short video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqGNb5MSOqA

Contribution is 400rs 🙏 (and contribution of choice for AV/NC/SAVI volunteers) 🪷 Message me (Helen) on WA 7094753054 to book your place

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter.

Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice!

The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice!

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us.

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies.
