 Come one, come all to a reception for our May artists on Sunday, May
4 from 5 to 7 pm. Ellen Rutledge uses a variety of print techniques,
including dry point, photo etch, mezzotint and chine colle.  Images
of texts, maps and original drawings showcase the beauty of common
objects.  Lin La Mer’s still life paintings use the color turquoise
to bring forth a warm and comforting past and a bright, cheerful
future. Refreshments will be served.  Artwork is for sale; a portion
of each sale benefits the church.

In this evening workshop, we will practice the art and skill of being where we are. Using silent and guided meditaion and exercises we will explore tools that help us slow down and pat attention to what is already here in and around us. As we become more present, we find that this moment becomes a doorway into dimensions of richness which may surprise, inform or enliven us.

Presented by David Rynick and Tamara Scarlett-Lyon. David is a certified life coach, leadership consultant and Zen teacher. Tamara is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Registered Counselor in Seattle.
