Mountshannon Community Hall

In this course we will explore mindfulness, awareness and presence through body presence and brush movement. 

Your Brush Journey

• To help us relax and be present in the body, we will start the session with some sitting and breathing;

• We will learn how to set up our workspace and do some basic brush;

• We practice the body posture, and how to hold and use our brush;

• We explore how to connect our brush movement with our body and breath; 

• We will learn calligraphy strokes and do a close study of the ideograph from the ancient calligraphy samples;

• We will share our learnings with the group and support each other for our further practice

Put your thinking and planning mind to rest and bring forth the depth of your consciousness. By doing brushwork, you learn to be slow, relaxed and focused all at the same time. Hopefully, the joy and presence will be carried with you into your everyday life.

Please be punctual and dress warmly.
