Shambhala Art Part I: Coming to your senses
The creative process has more to do with perception than talent. It requires that we first perceive our world as it is before we can represent it in some form or use it as a launching pad for expression. Meditation helps this process by clarifying our perceptions, relaxing our relentless self-dialoguing, and revealing the source of creativity.
Open to all, no prerequisites.
Everyone is invited, artists and non-artists alike.
