What is Captured Zen?

I have a belief that in this life that there are tranquil moments that represents true peace within us. These moments are where we can Capture Zen. My experiences with Capturing Zen have occurred in a multitude of different situations such as a meditation, yoga, exercise, nature, and education.

When lucky enough to notice it sometimes it can be captured in a photo, a video, story, exercise and even a memory. I have been blessed enough to Capture some of these situations and present them to you. On this site you will find a variety of information that can lead to to a healthy life. My hope is that you too can Capture some Zen.


Goals.

The goal here for Captured Zen is to bring a healthy awareness to the world around us, through returning to our roots in this world.

  • Create a understanding of what the Earth has to offer us in terms of healthy eating, in terms of foods and herbal remedies.

  • Offer healthy exercise function from yoga, kettlebells and general fitness to fix areas where we may be weak. This includes insturction and resources.

  • Bring solutions in the forms of books, education, classes and meet ups to bring like minded people together to learn from one another.

  • To bring instruction and learning in the form of meditation practices and the attempt to reach enlightenment.

My idea is to create a community that reflects beautiful values not because it has to but because it wants to.

I imagine a community with a zest for life but also with the ability to be tranquil and quiet when it needs to be. A community that gives back while at the same time doing its best to enjoy life to its fullest. All while trying to make the world a better place.
