the 3rd Satsang in the Garden is here!
it was super fun to create
plus
a hummingbird flew overhead (not in camera view) during the filming!
i'm beginning to get the feel of this process
and am loving it!
thank you for watching!


i've added a short blurb on my youtube channel for the channel description:

short (10-ish minute) home-made unscripted videos in my garden of satsang, meetings in the Now, with the focus on our essential formless nature, the beingness.

here's the more in-depth blurb about my background and how these videos came to be:

"Within the still sacred space that Moni provides, it is easy to find the inner stillness that is the essence of who you are." ~ Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart & I first met on Sunday afternoon, 13 December 1998, in Vancouver at his publisher's home during a celebration of his recently published first book, The Power of Now. This meeting changed my whole life. I spent the next several years staying very close to Eckhart and attending as many of his meetings and retreats (wherever they were held) as possible. I couldn't not do that. My heart wouldn't let me. As a result of this intensive period in his energy field and through Grace, I came to realize this that I am, this that I've always been. A shifting of consciousness happened, and over some time, a stabilizing as this. 

I'm deeply grateful to Eckhart for the teachings and wisdom and humour and friendship and love and support that come through him, but mostly I'm grateful for him ~ the profound, immense, pure, clear, vibrant, peace-filled space.

I'm also so grateful for his master gardening skills. During a visit together last summer over banana bread and tea, we gardened together in the formless realm. He planted seeds. He encouraged me, no, he strongly urged that my meetings (which I've been holding since 2002) be video-recorded and posted on YouTube, shared with the world. He spoke to me of our (his & my) responsibility to help balance the consciousness on the internet, to bring more consciousness. After several months and several unsuccessful attempts at indoor video recording of my weekly satsangs, Meeting As Stillness, the idea of mini spontaneous satsangs in the garden came to me. A seed began to sprout!

I love gardens and being in them. I love flowers (roses, especially!) and hummingbirds and photographing them and I love learning new skills. Plus, I love satsang (meetings with the focus on our essential nature ~ the beingness).

These home-made 10-ish minute long videos, Satsang in the Garden, are the fruits of the seeds planted last August. They are a one woman creation, using a video camera, my photographs and newly gained limited skills at video editing and movie making. I'm grateful to Tomas, my partner, who has helped greatly with technical computer challenges. I'm so enjoying the creative process from start to finish. I'm grateful to you for watching these videos and for being with me in the garden. I'm happy to hear from you with comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas or creative input. Thank you!
