7 Days of Beauty Project An Online Sanctuary

The 7 Days of Beauty is a community service project dedicated to the healing of post-election trauma and distress. This idea spontaneously came to me in my morning practice of Embodied Mindfulness, and debuted a week later online.

Stillness and being in nature has always been an ongoing personal support in cultivating equanimity, and I wanted to share this spirit with a larger audience.

The project consists of 5 minute videos of my NatureBeingArt photographs with music from various artists. Each day also highlights an art, healing and social action organization doing meaningful work in the world.

Over the course of a week for 5 minutes a day, give yourself breathing room and bring nature to you - wherever you are. Enjoy!
