Event Overview

Crafts are meditations, too. It's time to relax, breathe, imagine, and create!

Shenpa can be translated from Buddhism as "attachment"... shenpa is a reaction to Being...

In other words... if you are constantly checking your phone, just waiting for that text or email... Shenpa is that Inner-Sensation driving your mind to keep looking at your phone. Shenpa is like a "fuel" for reacting to what is happening in your mind. Shenpa is that little noise in the back of your mind, guiding your actions and non-actions. So... why do we do this? Why do we have a Shenpa?

In this ShenpaCraft evening, we're going to go within to explore our Shenpas though the crafting of a Zen Bottle. Zen Bottles are a craft I designed for guiding meditations. They are also just a rad lamp to light your way, made with glass bottles and a light inside. Thought the magic of science, your Zen Bottle will light up when you put a cork in it, and turn off when the cork is removed. They're a wonderful companion for a warm bath, or for a soothing glow during meditation!

We will spend 2 hours on the project, putting our Zen Bottles together, while exploring our Shenpas. Everyone will take home one complete, working Zen Bottle, as well as original meditations designed for this evening, which you will be able to work with on your own.

Let's spend an evening exploring our Inner-Worlds, crafting, and discovering ways to be mindful of our Shenpas.
