The Rev. Scott Robinson, PhD., TSSF: Author, Poet, Musician, Interfaith Minister, Seeker
"Scott is great! Loved the experience." ~Workshop participant
Scott has one of those résumés that give HR people a migraine. He grew up amongst the glacial hills and lakes, and long, cold winters of Central New York. He has worked at Renaissance Faires, as, variously, an actor, musician, and a Tarot reader, and at one faire he met his wife, Allison. He taught college music for ten years, then studied to become an interfaith minister, in which he concentrated on hospice chaplaincy. He is a professed member of the Third Order of St. Francis, a religious order within the Episcopal Church. He has recently begun the study of Druidry, as part of his quest to “free Christ from his Near Eastern captivity.” He has early-onset Parkinson’s disease, which is making him less inhibited every day, God help us. He lives in Philadelphia.
"Contrary to popular understanding, contemplation does not imply quietness or withdrawal. Instead, it is a quality of immediate, open presence that is directly involved with life-as-it-is." –Gerald May

Contemplative Workshop Leadership
"Great experience, wonderful leader!" ~Workshop participant
Contemplative practice helps us to ground ourselves in the here and now and live anchored in our own bodies. It dispels the air of unreality that sometimes surrounds our lives as we get caught up in the mental chatter. It puts us immediately in touch with the people around us, and helps us navigate the situations in which we find ourselves.
Using guided visualization, meditation instruction, scriptures from various traditions, body awareness and movement meditation, and especially music, chant and sacred sound, I lead groups toward a deeper awareness and appreciation of the Divine in which we "live and move and have our being."
"...the difference between God present and absent is merely a difference in our own awareness." –Evelyn Underhill
