"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.

All are Welcome! Come the First and Third Tuesdays at 6pm. We are focusing on Sri Easwaran's form of passage meditation and his 8-Point Program for daily living, currently meeting at the Spokane Buddhist Temple. This form of meditation fits with any spiritual path. Passage meditation was designed specifically for the Western “monkey mind.” It is a very disciplined approach to slowing down and focusing. It is difficult, but very rewarding! We are currently studying Sri Easwaran’s book "Passage Meditation". Questions, call Lou Ann at (509) 590-3512
