WINTER 2006-7 CONTEMPLATIVE ARTS SCHEDULE

I have established the schedule for this winter for Contemplative Arts, and I wanted to give you all the first chance to sign up. All of my classes are growing rapidly, and I am very grateful for all of your interest, curiousity and commitment! In this email, I will cover contemplative writing and photography (Miksang).

1. Contemplative Writing
I have added a new daytime class, and the three regular classes (early and late evenings) still have a couple of openings each. Register early!
The classes available for January are:
Wednesday 9-11am (all 5 Wednesdays in January)
Thursday 4:30-6:30 (beginning mid-January, TBA) and
Thursday 7:30-9:30 (all 4 Thursdays in January, plus first Thursday in February).

Cost, as usual, is 45$ for five weeks. This can be paid in increments. I also allow for a certain number of students on financial restriction in each class to pay less; please contact me ahead of time if this is the case. Pre-registration is REQUIRED for these classes.

2. Miksang: Contemplative Photography (REVIEWS)
There will be two reviews for current students (people who have already taken level one or two with me) in December and January: 12/20, Wednesday, from 6-8pm and 1/17 6-8pm. All reviews will be at the Aha! Center, 214A S. Baldwin (one block north of the Shambhala Center), in the Capital Printing building. You are invited to shoot Light, Color, Surface or Space/Dot-in-Space, and bring a flash card with 12 of your images for a review.

Miksang: Contemlative Photography (CLASS)
In the spring, beginning in March (TBA) I will be teaching Miksang as a 5-week Wednesday night course. Students and I both agreed this year that the "weekend crash courses" were a bit too much and too little at the same time. The 5-week course is how they do it at "home-base" in Toronto, so we will be adopting that here. I will keep you posted about the schedule a little closer to March.

Please let me know, as always, if you are interested in any courses. Also, make sure and let me know if you are interested but cannot make the posted times. I am always open to considering new times, and would hate for you not to come if we can make a time for a new class. Thank you for your support in this first year of my full-time teaching. It's been a serious pleasure!

Warmly,
Miriam Hall
