Free Community Talk: The Art of Contemplative Self-Cultivation
Where: One Earth Studio | 191 Emery Mills Road, Shapleigh, ME
When: Tuesday, January 6th 2026 | 6pm - 7:30pm
Join Ryan W. Richards, for an engaging introduction to Contemplative Self-Cultivation: the art of learning to think with clarity by becoming aware of the patterns that shape our decisions, relationships, and sense of self. Drawing on the ancient teachings of The Book of Changes (I Ching), as well as his family lineage in contemplative counseling, Ryan will explore how change operates within our personalities, how we can learn to observe the way we “see,” and how emotional and logical dynamics can be harmonized for healthier living. This gathering is both an introduction to Ryan’s work and an invitation to participate in future classes at the studio for those who wish to learn practical concepts for making positive change
