Praise for REFUGE
"In our celebrity-driven society, filmmakers are partly responsible for this rapid growth in awareness, by creating serious works influenced by Buddhist tenets or by publicly recognizing its potential benefits."
Laura Kern, NY TIMES
"Somehow, "Refuge" remains a calm and reassuring picture, but never an incurious one. He's not afraid to explore the sexual and financial scandals that have affected some Buddhist ventures in the West, or the tendency of some overly enthusiastic Western practitioners to focus on the ritual elements of Buddhist worship and to breed an isolated, cult-like atmosphere." ~ Andrew O’Hier, Salon.com

About the filmmaker Susanne Rostock
Long esteemed as "an aural and visual poet", Susanne Rostock's filmmaking is a stunning 40 years of some of the most compelling documentaries of each decade. Her most recent film as director/editor, Sing Your Song, about Harry Belafonte's life as an artist and activist, was chosen to open the U.S. Documentary Competition section of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it was described as a story "told with a remarkable sense of intimacy, visual style and musical panache".

DEEP SEEING, Photography Workshop with Ed Heckerman
In this workshop we will endeavor to enter the zone of deep seeing firsthand - the continuum of spacious creativity - and within that learn how to look. This most essential aspect of photography is seldom addressed. Instead of using photography as a means to grasp at appearances and show off technical skills, we will learn how to slow down, enter the present moment, and offer pictures as the expressions of our integration of clear awareness and everyday life. This engagement with receptivity and giving will be supported by calm abiding meditation, coming into an understanding of all appearances as light, and picturing the unnoticed - the beauty of modest, unconventional, anonymous and ephemeral subject matter. We will use our cameras, from cell phone to Hasselblad, to explore with a fresh sense of adventure and perspective. All are welcome.
Ed Heckerman teaches meditation at Yeshe Nyingpo in Santa Monica, California. He is a retired photography professor and an active artist. For a selection of his work and writings visit: edheckerman.com.
