This workshop is for artists and non-artists, anyone drawn to the adventure of being intimate with the unknown. A great intelligence, good humor and creativity all exist outside the boundaries of what we know, and when we open ourselves they come to find us.

Being playful with not-knowing and putting aside all ideas on how to paint, you might be asked to paint the “energy” of music, a Rumi poem, a partner acting like a wild animal, the sound of silence, the Lord of Chaos, your heart’s desire…. While your brush dances from emptiness, you watch, amazed, exuberant and grateful.

 
During the workshop you will learn to hold your new brushes as friends and move with them in harmony. Through simple and effective energy and meditation exercises you will more and more return to the natural state of “resting in presence and moving from emptiness”. Throughout the two days, we will share our paintings in gentle and humorous ways, becoming more relaxed and available to existence.
