A Thai sensibility, where life, wherever I am, has a feeling of fun.

CHIVIT TAMADA ชีวิตธรรมดา:
simplified, bitter-sweet, daily living: Where life feels, at least sometimes, poetry, and play.

Dance, other Art, Yoga, Meditation and Deep Ecology is my Way. I call this THE DELICIOUS DELIGHT OF LIVING.

In dance, film and other art, I find some peace, some stillness in crisis: personal crisis, crises of my clients in psychotherapy, crises of the Earth.

In this Way I may savor and creatively respond to 趣 OMOMUKI: meaning “atmospheres, deep flavors and tastes of space”

This is a Way of surviving and somehow thriving in a chaotic “profoundly sick society” - Jiddu Krishnamurti.

This Way is core to my approach to Art, Dance and Play Therapy; as well as ecotherapy and water therapy. I see not simply a person’s “disorder” but the entirety of the challenges of them being in a turbulent world.

I help people cultivate the interconnectedness of body, mind and wider world.

I support people to find greater peace, belonging, connection, creativity and meaningful being.

DM Me to arrange a consultation.

MEDITATION VOYAGE / CREATIVE REFLECTION:-
relational origination paticca-samuppada ปฏิจจสมุปบาท

Wat Analayo complex has an astonishing diversity of statues, temples and relationships with the wider natural world.

These natural interactions emphasize the foundational Buddhist concept of origination - that all things exist in inter-connection, not individually isolated:
#ปฏิจจสมุปบาท

It is a Thai Buddhist complex that resonates with varied historical, cultural and philosophical pathways of Buddhism. This includes Chinese and South Asian influences.

Wat Analayo’s relational architecture resonates particularly with the architecture of Tadao Ando, especially the Water Temple in Naoshima, Japan, and rock cut edifices at Ellora in India.

is a temple complex also of atmosphere, mood, and deep flavors of space: Omomuki 趣.

This atmosphere is created by:
- the distinctive architecture, involving shadows and reflections and connection with nature
- the surrounding landscape of trees, hills and Phayao Lake
- the loving kindness of monks, nuns, staff and upward facing dogs 🐕

Relationally Being at Wat Analayo feels like being at home. This is a special space and time.

In Praise of Shadows, Shades and Reflections
