Zen & the Arts Retreat

In being still, the stillness finds you. The poem stirs and seems to write itself. The photograph calls from the most ordinary corner. A new song visits unexpectedly, like rain. Once again we're reminded that the obstacles we have are the ones we create. 

In this half-day retreat we'll explore and renew the underground pathways connecting stillness and creative work by shifting between periods of meditation and periods of engaged art practice. The silence opens the practice and the practice enlivens the silence.
