Shambhala-kunst deel I:  Coming To Your Senses

Over de cursus

This program is available to you whether or not you consider yourself an artist or a meditator. De Shambhala Art-leringen vieren kunst die voortkomt uit de meditatieve geest. Ze herinneren ons eraan om de uniciteit van de alledaagse zintuiglijke ervaring te waarderen, de kunst van het dagelijks leven. Seeing the simplicity and brilliance of “things as they are” provides the ground for genuine creativity, which is the expression of non-aggression.

In part one of the five-part Shambhala Art curriculum, we ontwikkelen meditatie als de basis voor alle creatieve inspanningen. Through a sequence of experiential exercise, we glimpse our capacity for spontaneous creative expression that is independent of agenda or forced cleverness. These glimpses provide the initial confidence that we can rest with ourselves and our world. According to the Shambhala Art teachings, resting with ourselves and our world is the ground for the creative process.

We cover the following topics in Shambhala Art Part 1:

• Learning the value of slowing down and establishing a practice of shamatha meditation
• Understanding the concepts of “felt sense” and “thought sense,” and how allowing felt sense to proceed thought sense allows us to have deeper and more authentic experiences
• Learning to appreciate the vividness of experience and trusting our “first thought, best thought.”
