This Spring, join DHARMA FRIENDS and special guest Lama Tsultrim Allione for an inspiring and interactive evening about Dharma Art.
Artist Robert Henri once said, “The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” How can Vajrayana practices help us enter this state? What does a tradition that teaches about “no self” have to say about art as self-expression? How can writing, painting, music, dance, or any other medium be an expression of Buddha nature? And how can we, as practitioners, incorporate art making as an integral part of our Dharma practice?
Join special guest Lama Tsultrim Allione (joining virtually), plus DHARMA FRIENDS teachers Megan Mook, Kevin Townley, and Lopön Karla Jackson Brewer for an evening of teachings, conversation, meditation, and Dharma art prompts!
