Jackson Falls Studies

These are two studies I began during my last two days in Jackson, NH during the Hudson River Fellowship.

"Emerald Pool"

"Stepping Through Beauty" (Corrected Link)

My new blog is an extension of a workshop I offered at the "Second World Conference on Focusing Oriented Psychotherapies" in Stony Point, NY in November 2011. My workshop, titled “The Experience of Beauty in Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy.” was inspired by an extraordinary community and conference. This blog expresses my ever expanding appreciation for and exploration of the power, meaning and value of beauty. I hope your experience of beauty is enhanced and deepened by your visit:
