This is a graphic from a workshop I presented at Heart of the Village Yoga Studio on the Four Directions. We went into the woods, walked by streams and ponds, and paused to reflect on what we were experiencing together. We discussed finding balance in our lives when we see from the center of our consciousness and look at four aspects of our being, integrity (virtue - respecting purity of life) and kindness (compassion - loving all of life), truth (being true to life purpose) and contentment (being open to life learning).
