Creativity in Motion and Meditation in a northern California Art studio November, 2014

Early in November, 2014 I collaborated with Ellen LeBel in Eureka, California at a workshop about movement and creativity. Our participants were mostly artists, educators and local residents in various pursuits of their lives.  Sharing my Tai Ji/Qi Gong practice and brush calligraphy training, we used calligraphy brushes dipped in water, ink and colorful paint making images to experience the movement of Qi (life force).   It was not a workshop to learn specific artistic techniques, but a coming together of  creativity, fun and our collective energy.  The results were stunning. In addition, we were blessed with a special huge brush made by our friend Lauris, with sissal and bamboo, to apply physical movements from two people to bring out the Ying/Yang and east/west synergy for many spontaneous and unpredictable imageries on paper.
My appreciation to new and old friends who joined us to make this experience so memorable.
