You are already an artist, if you follow your heart, dreams and imaginations, and not pursuing the demands of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mindful art is the concept of the artistic-funful activities in the form of workshops and private lessons we organise for individuals and small groups.
These workshops will enhance our aesthetic capacities and help us to discover our artistic potential and creative dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creativity, art, wisdom and passion are at the heart of everything we believe.
As living beings, in order to flourish, thrive and grow we all need to live a life through passion, art and wisdom. Creativeness is the cornerstone of our existence and each creative act is a step toward freedom and fulfilment.
Nietzsche: \u2018The Essence of all beautiful Art, all great Art, is Gratitude\u2019
Creativity, in its essence, is generosity and gratitude. Because it\u2019s against nothing and it is for everything which thrives. The growth of Life is in fact creativity.
Creativity reconnects us to ourselves, others, the natural world and above all to Life. And a way to find the meaning.
Being creative is being in tune with Life, being in tune with Life is being alive, vibrant and happy.
Creativity enables us to see the world in a different light and find a way to free ourselves from self-alienation, isolation, imposed and biased ideas, manipulation, exploitation and domination of societal and conventional influences.
Creativity is all about vitality, harmony and expressiveness which help us to transform ourselves into who we truly are.
Creativity is in fact an antidote to our existential anxieties and vacuum, stress and loneliness caused by the modern lifestyle we have chosen and built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creativity is freedom, self-awareness, harmony with the World, vitality and self-expressiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth is also possible through playfulness and fun.
The activities we are engaged in, are indispensable and nourishing ingredients of our day-to-day life, shaping mindful moments and energising our mind, body and being.
During these artistic and funful activities, we\u2019ll experience the flow or being in the Zone, in which our focus will shift to the now. Being in the present moment with our whole heart will pave a way to our Higher Self, our Home. Seeing our Higher Self or our artistic dimension is the beginning of a long, enjoyable, inspiring, pleasant and joyful journey. Seeing our Higher Self, will strengthen our confidence and concentration for other daily activities. Seeing our Higher Self will help us to see the Suchness of Life.
During these workshops we\u2019ll be encouraged to adventure novelties and will be motivated to experience the joy of the process, even through our failure which is a part of the activity. We\u2019ll get the insight that perfection and imperfection are relative and mutually arising.
Being in the flow during these mindful activities, will sooth our mind and as a result we\u2019ll experience tranquillity, joy and enriching moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unleash your inner child and see that you can do more than you believe.
The elements are the different creative funful activities we provide during the workshops.
The group can choose the activity that suits them most.
The elements are:
\u2022 Calligraphy, in different styles: Zen (Chinese\/Japanese), Persian, Arabic and European styles
\u2022 Drawing and painting: still life, portraits, landscapes, city features and fantasy (imaginary)
\u2022 Creative Writing: Haiku writing, drawing (haiga) and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In creativeness the means, process and goals are one.
Each activity consists of seven major steps:
\u2022 The opener
\u2022 A brief meditation
\u2022 The energiser, i.e. explanation and encouragement
\u2022 The funful act, i.e. the exercise, part 1
\u2022 A short pause for a breathing exercise and affirmation
\u2022 The flow of act, i.e. the exercise part 2
\u2022 Evaluation and gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your endeavour is the right means which creates Art.
During our workshops we will employ various media which depends on the sort of activity. The Zen calligraphy for instance, requires utilizing inkbrush, ink and rice paper whereas drawing portraits will be done with pencil on paper. In brief, the materials we apply during the workshops range from water colours, colour pencils to acrylic paints, fine liners, paper, canvas, pebbles and other media.
The workshops are for children as well as for adults. We arrange the workshops for individual and small groups of 3 up to 10 participants. The duration of each activity depends on how many people will attend the workshop. It varies from one hour to two hours or maybe longer.
All you need is passion for art and your enthusiasm. The rest will follow spontaneously.
The fee depends on the form of the workshop and how many participants attend. And we\u2019ll arrange it in agreement.
We will provide the placement, materials and tea & sweets.
We\u2019ll create a warm, safe, inspiring, pleasant, playful and joyful atmosphere together as a happy team.
You are more than welcome to embark upon this short and joyful, inspiring, enjoyable journey with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creativity is living the way of life passionately and fully embracing its challenges and changes artistically and courageously.
Creativity is the High Way home, to ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
