Rereading the Zen evening Gatha, I was reminded of the urgency of waking up to the peril of environmental degradation to life on our beloved planet.

While, It’s hard to acknowledge this, hope can give us courage to awaken and act.

Mindfulness and Guitar Playing and Performance for the Amateur and the Professional -Event at the New York City Classical Guitar Society

As we return to the stage or to playing for family and friends after this challenging year, mindfulness can help ease the transition and enhance both the quality of our playing and our enjoyment of practice and performance. In this hands-on session, we will practice and discuss mindfulness techniques for the classical guitarist.

For me, mindfulness, writing and guitar are intertwined. A life-threatening illness led me to the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course in 2001. In part inspired by that course, I decided to transition from a thirty-year public interest law practice (which was for many years rewarding in so many ways), to begin writing poetry and teaching MBSR in 2005. Thanks in large part to mindfulness, I now have an MFA degree and six books under my belt. -Elizabeth J. Coleman
