A shared practice exploring another way of meeting life: by learning to dwell in the space between this and that. Together, we will explore the habits that draw us away from the present moment ; our impulse to rush ahead, to explain, to fill the void, or to seek resolution before an experience has fully revealed itself.
空 (kōng) is for “emptiness, void, open space”
境 (jìng) is for “inner realm of experience”
Empty Space is a monthly invitation into a slower, more receptive and intimate way of being.
Through meditation, contemplation, breath, body awareness, and the simple ritual of preparing and sharing tea, each gathering will take a different form while returning to what becomes possible, when we become more intimate with the pause, between what is and what comes next.
We will practice staying close to what is already here, learning to listen without immediately interpreting, to remain with what is unknowable…
In this space, we will explore repetition as devotion, attention as a form of prayer, and the space between things as a place of practice.
“Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.” — Simone Weil
Across these gatherings, we will explore different dimensions of the empty space — meeting the unknown, cultivating patience, listening as a form of prayer, and discovering what can reveal itself when we leave some moments empty.
