The ambiance and land invite you to attune to nature's rhythms and beauty. |

Why combine storytelling & meditations with crystal singing bowls? |
||
Storytelling: "To tell the holiness" is the literal meaning of the Apache word for myth or story. Stories take us deeper into ourselves and into the mysterious reservoirs of humanity. Storytelling is a type of mythmaking. By what stories shall you, I or we be known? Whatever your cultural and religious background or personal psychology, greater awareness about the stories you live by gives you greater access to choice and meaning. An absence of meaning is so often behind the private and collective suffering we experience. Myth, with its relationship to symbol, metaphor and meaning, bridges the unknown to the known, illuminating the sacred mystery of who we are and why we are here. |

Meditation with Crystal Singing Bowls: The meditation is an opportunity to tune into the stillness, in the midst of our complex, fast-paced lives, and sense what emerges. The singing bowls facilitate a journey of relaxation, awareness and healing. |
|
| The bowls are made of quartz crystal and engineered to produce highly pure alpha-wave tones. Played singley and in combination (we have eight!), their sound waves have a profound effect on body, mind, heart and spirit. They help you release tension and stress, calm your mind, and center your being. The sound vibrations are a powerful vehicle for shifting awareness, accessing creative imagination and restoring inner harmony. | ||
Ushered by the bowls, we enter a whole different realm of storytelling. StoryBowl gatherings are open to men and women. You are most heartily invited to join us. |

| Co-Led by: |
Beata C. Lewis I lead storytelling circles as journeys inward to illuminate and discover meaning, connection, and creative riches in our everyday lives. Listening for memories and dreams, we re-member ourselves. Sharing what is profoundly sacred, we claim our unique, creative voice. My heart sings in welcome. |
Sam Jackson With crystal bowls I experience sound, vibration, and resonance as music that is a language unto itself. Bringing these bowls to sing enriches my journey of self-discovery. With them I nurture my Sacred Self; this is an experience I gladly share.

My Afterhours list is for events that I either host or with which I collaborate as a presenter, generally in the San Francisco Bay Area. Afterhours events are outside of the business day and productivity focus; they are intended for relaxation, balance and joyful connection. I honor your trust and goodwill by never selling, trading or otherwise sharing your email address or contact information from this list. The list is adminstered by Intellicontact (see below). The frequency of email messages varies; there might be 2 in a month and then a pause of a couple of months...i.e., not frequent.
