    Chihuly Collection

    720 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg St. Pete

    Architecture and interior design have been crucial to Dale Chihuly’s work since the beginning of his career. His massive, site-specific installations are always created with the surrounding space in mind: think of Chihuly Over Venice, his ambitious project in which fourteen chandeliers were suspended over the canals and piazzas of that famous city. Then there was his 2000 project Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem, when he transformed the Tower of David Citadel with his colorful installations. A sense of place, whether it’s an urban setting, a museum, or a garden, is pivotal to how one views Chihuly’s work. 7278227872

    Temple of the Living God

    1950 2nd Ave N, St Pete St. Pete

    Every so often, we need to declutter. We usually feel great satisfaction when our kitchen, office, garage or bedroom is clean and tidy. But what about our mind? Each week we will deconstruct a negative way of thinking such as anger, deluded pride, jealousy, miserliness and ignorance. Learning practical methods to reduce the power of these delusions will allow us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom, and give us the skill to be the person we wish to be–positive, joyful, confident and loving. This series is based on ‘How to Understand the Mind’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso 727-797-9770
