Impermanence and Wholeness: Renewing Oneself Through Meditation and Creativity

Tuesday, January 19
6 - 8:30 pm
$45 ($40 Jung Center members)

Experience the complementary perspectives of meditation and creative expression in this special workshop. The timeless principle of impermanence will be explored through a guided meditation, followed by impermanent water painting.

Then, we will explore wholeness through a meditative movement to open the heart chakra. We will then use that openness of heart, along with the circular motion of the arm, to paint with ink in an intuitive or spontaneous way. And we will explore the importance of impermanence and wholeness in our daily life from the perspectives of Buddhist meditation and creative expression. Materials are included.
