back to Workshops Programme

Explore a simple approach integrating meditation with expressive painting. With practice, this approach can help us to learn to paint spontaneously and naturally in a fresh and free way which feels utterly authentic.

While prior art experience or ability is not needed, experience using open awareness, formless or non-dual approaches to meditation would be helpful. Basic open awareness meditation and simple art techniques will be taught as part of the course.

The group will be small, friendly and informal, with materials and organic refreshments included. Bring clothes that can get messy, your lunch and an open mind!

The group is led by qualified art teacher, practising artist and Buddhist nun Zangmo Alexander. She has also been on an 8 week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course with the University of Bangor. During her two year Masters Degree in Fine Art at Norwich School of Art and Design, she explored ways of integrating her own creative and mindfulness practices, and sees the process of art making as part of the spiritual path.
