Art as Meditation: Reflecting Deeply on Thich Nhat Hanh’s Calligraphy
Please come and join us for a beautiful day of extended mindfulness practice.
We will have an opportunity to deeply water the roots of our mindfulness practice and to reflect on Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s calligraphy - known as the fruits of his meditations and embodying insights from the mindfulness practice.
Thay’s profound calligraphies are a bell of mindfulness, reminding us to return to the present moment and to be in touch with the mindfulness that is alive within us.
What to expect:
We will be sharing in periods of sitting, walking, a formal meal, mindful movement, listening to a Dharma Talk and Dharma sharing.We will also have a very special opportunity to explore the practice of calligraphy. Calligraphy is art as meditation. (All materials will be provided)
“ The whole cosmos comes together in a piece of art. When we create calligraphy, we must be present and free. “
