For years I have filmed and photographed the sunrise over the bay. This site is that archive, together with the practices I've built around those mornings.
Sand and Soul began as a YouTube channel: short, unedited films of the sunrise, posted as I took them. Each one shows the color of the sky changing. It turned out that a lot of people wanted exactly that.
The site adds what the channel couldn't: the practices that happen while the camera runs, the photographs that don't become video, and the accumulated archive of mornings.
The practices
The meditation library is free, and it grows as new practices are written. Every practice was developed sitting by the water. Some will feel right to you and others won't.
The prints
Individual sunrise photographs are available from the gallery as digital downloads for $5, or as 8.5×11 archival gallery-gloss prints shipped free from Delaware for $25. All sales support the continuation of this project. Commercial licensing is available on request.
The videos
Every video is free on YouTube. Subscribe at @SandandSoulMeditations for new work weekly.
The newsletter
Each morning before the light, a single photograph and a short practice arrive in your inbox. If that's of use, subscribe here.
