Divine Creativity - Day 1 Part 3

Описание: Recorded: May 16, 2014
Teacher: Douglas Paul Smith

This weekend arts workshop discusses the Path of the Artist—how we can connect to our creative flow by applying the principles of basic truth, or dharma, to the creative process. Participants will receive hands on instruction in Zen brush-and-ink exercises as well as meditations, writing practices, and other creative-flow rituals that will clear subconscious mind-chatter to help us gain greater access to our genius. Slide shows and lectures will also teach the necessary tools for enhancing perception and deepening sensual experience.
