Art of Being 
- 8 Days Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Painting From Initiation to Creation Temple Retreat


"The distinction between the subjective and the objective art is basically based on meditation.
Anything that comes out of the mind will remain subjective art,
and anything that comes out of no-mind, out of silence, out of meditation, will be objective art.

This definition is simple and will destroy your confusion.
Whether you are creating something
– you may be a sculptor, you may be a carpenter, you may be a painter, a poet, a singer, a musician
– all that has to be remembered is that it is coming out of a silence within you, that it has a spontaneity.

It is not prearranged,
preprogrammed,
pre-thought.

As you are creating something you go on being surprised yourself
​– you have left yourself in the hands of existence."

Length: 8 days, 7 night
Location:​ Jianzhe
Chinese painting retreat at zhejiang, countryside
About the retreat

From Initiation to confidence
​and capability to creation,
following the coaching of our artist.

Through the unique expression of life with Chinese calligraphy & painting,
two full days of art retreat, we hope to open the gate of Chinese Dao of Being.

To understand better the philosophy behind the traditional art & its way to express of life,
by putting them into the devotion of practice of the art, leads us to the deep being.

Life flows through us,
express it in ONENESS...  

Take time, 
be immersed, totally dived into.
reject the distractions, and allow us to be truly with art for the days,
And each moment devoted
is the ladder towards the true expression of self,
and the DAO...
