True creativity is not the product of conscious effort, but rather the phenomenon of life itself.
These half-day workshops draw on the Zen tradition of calligraphy, a form of meditation in action. Through a process of meditation and yokiho, energy-raising exercises.The focus of the practice is to relax the body/mind and let the life energy flow freely.
No previous experience is required. Bring a cushion and loose clothing (which you don't mind getting the odd splash of ink on), plus a large format newspaper (e.g. the Daily Telegraph/Yorkshire Post) to practice on before your final drawing.
For all Zen brushwork enquiries, please contact Kaishin Zendō Sensei.
