As an experienced meditator of 20+ years, a long time yoga practitioner as well as a professional artist his intention with Stanley Ave Studio is to create a supportive environment that nourishes creativity, research, personal growth and transformation: in essence building sangha – a community of spiritual friends interested in the modern application and relevance of ancient dharma and yogic practice as a response to the challenges of contemporary life and culture.

Our Mission

Within the context of the current climate crisis, our mission is to integrate the imagination and creative arts into contemporary Dharma practice as an authentic path to deeply inquire into the nature of the mind and lived experience. The intention is to re-connect and transform our relationship with self, other and the living world.
