Personal Website

Stephen’s personal website is right here at www.schettini.com, although the front page has been pre-empted while The Novice is being launched.

The main site features stories, articles and other writings. To get past all the information about the book launch and visit the main site, click below.

The original drafts of The Novice ran to almost a quarter of a million words. Lots of stories had to be sacrificed, but some stand on their own, and they're there for you to read on this website. Go on in, and run your mouse over the banner images at the top of the page to see what's available.

Professional Website

For information about workshops and seminars, visit Quiet Mind Seminars at www.thequietmind.org. These events also may be temporarily pre-empted while The Novice is being launched, due to a rather intense schedule through to the end of 2009

Quiet Mind Seminars

I teach people that mental and physical stress starts in their own body and mind, and that the key to coping with anxiety, fear disappointment, pain and stress is mindful reflection. This path to a clear mind and an open heart emerges from the meditative attitude of being gentle, straightforward and honest with oneself in every situation. It’s low-key – nobody needs to know you’re meditating. Still, being simple isn’t easy for us Westerners with our complicated lives and sophisticated minds. It takes determination to start letting go of the causes of stress, but once you’re on your way, you wonder how you ever lived without mindful reflection.
