Everyone is an Artist
An in-person creative meditation day
“Through the ordinary state of being, we’re already creators in the most profound way, creating our experience of reality and composing the world we perceive.”
We'll spend the day exploring what Buddhist meditation and art have in common — which turns out to be quite a lot. Both are really about paying attention, and finding ways to respond creatively to our experience.
The Buddha's teachings point to something radical: that on a deep level, we are all essentially creative beings.
The day includes meditation, qigong, Dharma*, good conversation, time in nature, and a vegetarian lunch. The venue is The Guesthouse, a little retreat centre near Lövestad.
No experience in art or meditation needed — just bring your curious self.
