Nuna Shoesmith

You are about to embark on a life-changing experience, because that is what MBSR does. Mine has been a journey through performing arts and teaching music, experiences that have coloured my life with beauty and creativity. During the pandemic, however, I felt the call for a deeper transformation. I felt the need to question my path and dedicate myself fully to meditative practices and coaching, which I had both already undertaken to find a deeper meaning to my existence. Today I believe that the true value of life does not lie in the answers we find, but in the questions we ask ourselves. This is why I became fascinated by coaching and meditation, practices that guide us on our inner journey and help us explore the world with new eyes. This experience has taught me not to take anything for granted and to be grateful for every wonderful moment that life offers us, and today I understand that what I judged as a perpetual dissatisfaction, was my enormous desire for infinity. I hope that here in our community you will share with us your journey towards awareness and self-connection.

Ti stai per imbarcare in un'esperienza che cambierà la tua vita, perché è questo che la MBSR fa. La mia è stata un percorso attraverso le arti performative e l'insegnamento della musica, esperienze che hanno colorato la mia vita con bellezza e creatività. Durante la pandemia, però, ho sentito il richiamo a una trasformazione più profonda. Ho avvertito il bisogno di mettere in discussione il mio cammino e di dedicarmi completamente al coaching e alle pratiche meditative, che avevo già intrapreso per trovare un senso più profondo alla mia esistenza. Oggi credo che il vero valore della vita non risieda nelle risposte che troviamo, ma nelle domande che ci poniamo. È per questo che sono rimasta affascinata dalla meditazione, oltre che dal coaching, pratiche che ci guidano nel nostro viaggio interiore e ci aiutano a esplorare il mondo con occhi nuovi. Quest'esperienza mi ha insegnato a non dare nulla per scontato e a essere grata per ogni momento meraviglioso che la vita ci offre, e oggi comprendo che ciò che giudicavo come una perenne insoddisfazione era il mio enorme desiderio di infinito. Spero che qui nella nostra comunità tu possa condividere insieme a noi il tuo viaggio verso la consapevolezza e la riconquista di te.

Community does not necessarily mean living face-to-face with others; rather, it means never losing the awareness that we are connected to each other.
     - Parker Palmer

You are whole and also part of larger and larger circles of wholeness you may not even know about.

You are never alone.
And you already belong.
You belong to humanity.
You belong to life.
You belong to this moment, this breath.
     - Jon Kabat-Zinn

When all that we understand of self and world comes together in the center place called heart, we are more likely to find the courage to act humanely on what we know.
     - Parker Palmer

In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the realization that I loved all those people . . . even though we were total strangers. It was like waking from a dream of separateness.
     - Thomas Merton

You are not a drop in the ocean,
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
     - Rumi

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
     - Martin Luther King

I would say that there exist a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our changes are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves – we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together. We are each other’s destiny.
     - Mary Oliver
