Welcome to "The Zen of Creativity - Nurturing our Practice Through Creative Expression"
Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that seamlessly blends mindfulness, Zen principles, and the art of creative expression? In this unique class, we focus on the beauty of the present moment, the power of simplicity, and the profound connection between your inner world and your chosen medium – whether it's photography, painting, writing, or any other creative form. Our class is designed to inspire and support artists of all types, no matter where you are on your creative journey.
How It Works:
Four Immersive Classes: You'll participate in four classes, each offering a profound blend of meditation and creative expression. We use photography as a starting point, but you're encouraged to bring your chosen medium to explore and express your inner self.
Engaging Discussions: Dive deep into Zen principles, mindfulness, and creativity in our engaging group discussions. These conversations will help you connect with your creative spirit and explore how your art can be a form of meditation.
Inspiring Assignments: Each class includes unique assignments that align with our weekly themes. Whether you're taking photos, painting, writing, or working with another medium, you'll put your learning into practice and experience firsthand how creativity and mindfulness intersect.
Community and Sharing: Be part of a supportive community of like-minded artists who are passionate about blending Zen and creativity. Share your creative wisdom, insights, and experiences, whether you're a photographer, painter, writer, or any other type of artist.
Freedom to Choose: While photography is our starting point, we understand that your creativity knows no bounds. You're welcome to explore and express yourself through the medium that resonates most with you. Our class is designed to adapt to your preferences.
Join us to see with new eyes, tell stories through your work, and awaken the artist within. Whether you're passionate about photography, painting, writing, music, or any other form of creative expression, "The Zen of Creativity" is here to help you discover the profound connection between mindfulness and your chosen medium. Embrace the art of mindfulness and creativity, and reserve your spot now to unlock your inner Zen. We can't wait to embark on this transformative journey with you!
Your guide on this journey will be Sensei Michael, fully-empowered Zen Teacher, Buddhist Priest, and Founder of One River Zen
