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. |
