Discovering Zen Through Japanese Calligraphy

Embark on a journey into the heart of Zen through the expressive art of Shodo. This meditative practice blends art and mindfulness, helping you cultivate inner calm while connecting with the beauty of tradition.

This workshop invites beginners to explore the profound connection between mindful practice and artistic creation. Learn about the spirit of Zen and its historical ties to calligraphy. We will cover the basics of Shodo, including handling the brush and mastering essential strokes. Our focus will be the Zen concept of 無心 (Mushin), or "No Mind," a state of fluid awareness beyond conscious thought.

Through guided practice, you will embody the essence of Mushin on paper. Join us to connect with an ancient tradition, cultivate inner peace, and express the spontaneous beauty of the Zen mind. Absolutely no experience needed – just an open heart and mind.
