"Nuala Clarke's Ziji art class was a treat. As an artist who felt very blocked at the time, the exercises presented helped break up my tight concepts, find freedom in space again, and just leap into it. Nuala is kind-hearted and open, with a teaching style accessible to all." Heather Coleman

"The Tibetan word for confidence is Ziji....This kind of confidence contains gentleness, because the notion of fear does not arise; sturdiness, because in the state of confidence there is ever-present resourcefulness; and joy because trusting in the heart brings a greater sense of humor." 
- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, The Sacred Path of the Warrior

Ziji Art is a 4-week Visual Arts Workshop where we will integrate our respective art practices with meditation and dharma study. Using mindfulness, awareness and embodiment centered art practices we will develop our ability to bring creativity into our everyday lives. The course will emphasize interdependence and community as important tools for the artist's path.

This course covers basic visual awareness exercises that are relevant to both beginner and advanced students looking to work directly with their relationship to visual perception.
