"Thank you Helen!! It is fantastic to see (and replay in our minds and hearts) so many moments. It's wonderful to feel nostalgia (for the past) but also connection (in the present and future). Hugs, Inma "

Photo album of ALIA Europe Seminar 2011 - at the Mennorode Conference Center, Elspeet, Netherlands.

Having arrived on Monday morning, March 7th, being part of the faculty for the second ALIA seminar in the Netherlands. It takes place at the Mennorode Conference Center, which is located in the midst of a national forest (as big as it can be in this relative tiny country), but yes there is some wildlife such as deer, foxes and boars.I am here as part of the arts team to present one of the creative processes module, and taking photos. Here follows a short summary mixed with some of my…See More

Miksang Contemplative Photography - www.miksang.nl
Role
photographer/teacher
Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the ALIA community.
Looking and seeing and expressing clear seeing. Fresh.
Sharing photos to beautify the world, and sharing some experience on the nature of perception.
After a carreer as a professional athleet, later as an artist and after a long and intensive submersion in Shambhala-Buddhism as a student and as well as a teacher nowadays, and working with groups/group dynamics with talking circle intentions - all acquired knowledge and natural life experience came together in Miksang Photography as a skilfull mean.
That means; teaching on the nature of perception and the proces of clear seeing and expressing things as they are through the medium of photography.(please take a look at my photos on www.miksang.nl to see the 'theory' being expressed)

To be able to fully appreciate and enjoy life, the phenomenal world and every moment, to me it seems always and everytime again to be about slowing down, creating space, seeing clearly followed by great expression - embodied with gentleness and confidence.

What draws me to the ALIA Community is being invited and becoming very curious. Bridging the creative process and leadership is a great pathway and I am looking tremendously forward to explore, exchange and learn. And meeting likewise minds and new friends, and share inspiration and many moments.

Helen, How did you upload pictures. I tried yesterday but I was only able to upload one picture instead of more. Can you advice.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Rens

Helen, I was compelled to open your link when I saw your photo in the list of members... and then I read your profile. Indeed... this photo is a lovely expression of all that you express in your words. how incredible that one image can say all that!

I've been intrigued with the concept of perception for many years, although I don't get to explore it in the way that I would like. I enrolled in a M Psyc course on perception while completed my M Arch because I wanted to talk to people about perceiving buildings who didn't have the handicap of an architectural education. My explorations in this feild have taken me to Integral Institute where the 4 quadrants help create space for the level of nuance and practise I'm interested in. Also I do my best to practise non violent communication which really focuses on the value of a neutral observation.... perception bein the key tool.

Enjoyed your web site images! all my best, TR
