Welcome to Momentary Experience - Creative moments from a mindful life
In this site Martin Stepek shares the product of his creative life, in words and images, reflecting the philosophy of Zen, namely that it is in the moment that we experience, exist, and can give back to the world. No one can predict what works of art or literature impact us; it is only in the moments of experiencing them that you know what affects you and what doesn't.
About
My name is Martin Stepek
After our family business went into administration in 2002, catapulting me out of an unfulfilling career which I probably wouldn't have had the courage to voluntarily exit. I then my the decision to try to find then live out the fulness of my life, which entailed working in the arts as well as mental wellbeing and other personal interests.
​
It was at this point that I stepped up my creative work, and from 2013 to 2023 I published five volumes of poetry and six books on how to live mindfully and well. I also developed my interest in the visual arts, especially painting and photography.
​
Currently my working time is divided between writing (primarily poetry and mindfulness), teaching (Zen, mindfulness and peace of mind) and developing fresh thinking for family-owned businesses.
