If you experience something, you have already had a belief about it. Change your belief, change your experience.

You can collect ideas about meditation and the creative nature of your thoughts until your head explodes. But, unless you learn how to apply and experience them consciously, they are of no practical value. This workshop will help you begin exploring these ideas experientially. This way you can keep the beliefs that are working for you and change or modify the ones that aren’t.

Through a regular meditation practice you can delve into what Ronald calls Foundational Belief Systems (FBS), of which there are four: God, Death, Material Security and Sexuality. A thorough understanding of what you believe in these areas and how those beliefs are creating ALL of your life experiences will bring you a new awareness that can transform your life---if you choose.

During the workshop, you will explore meditation---what, how, when, where—not only with the amazing Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls but with practical techniques and exercises that will allow you to take the experience with you into your daily routine. You will use these to take a closer look at one of your own Foundational Belief Systems. Ronald’s mixture of analogy and humor along with practical suggestions, tools, and exercises come together to provide you with a firm basis for exploring fully the creative nature of your thoughts and the FBS that they create.

The workshop is only the beginning………

This 1 hr EXPERIENCE is centered around Crystal Singing Bowls and exploring the creative nature of thoughts and how to take the experience into our daily lives. With a mixture of demonstrations, humor, experimentation and practical application participants will begin to expand their awareness of self, others and the greater whole. No matter where someone is considered to be in terms of a meditative practice --- from novice to avid practitioner -- the Crystal Bowl Meditative EXPERIENCE will offer a unique way to develop a meditation practice or expound on an existing practice. Each month you will be given a new tool and exercise to build upon and further strengthen your ability to get beneath the chatter of you mind.

Individual meditation instruction helps you dive more deeply and regularly into the concepts and ideas that are mentioned at my events and in my book. Explore various meditation techniques and schools of thought in relation to what is happening in your life today. Perhaps you want to spend time meditating on specific concerns or spend more time understanding how your beliefs determine the experiences in your life. would you like to create a meditation practice that is tailor-made for you as an individual.

My space is pictured below and is intimate and yet large enough to accommodate up to 10 people comfortably.
