About the event
Based on the philosophy of John Diamond, M.D., this workshop will provide both an orientation and hands-on experience creating Stillpoint Haiku (single breath) Drawings (B/W) as well as more colorful Action Meditation Works. Non-toxic water based markers will be provided as well as white stationery paper. Participation in a larger group painting will also be offered.
This workshop is free to the public with a suggested $10 donation to ROOST Arts Hudson Valley. All experience levels welcome to enjoy "aspirational play" around an action meditation theme.
David Richard is an artist, poet, author, photographer and songwriter living in Milford, PA. He studied with Dr. Diamond for nearly 35 years.
Inner-directed meditation stills the mind, but it is less likely to open the heart. It is not enough to think “thank you;” it must be outwardly expressed. It must be given. -- John Diamond, M.D.
