Art of Being Half Day Immersion

We’ll spend our time in meditation, movement (chair stretching), conversation, and creative co-working. Come explore the themes of attention, resistance, discipline, inertia, play and more.

The day begins with guided meditation and movement to focus the mind and open the body with the intention to begin the creative process from a more embodied and grounded state. Then we will do a couple writing prompts to help get into the flow followed by a short discussion of writings from artists around their process. 

The heart of the immersion is a generous period of uninterrupted creative work. There are many ways to spend this time, but what has been most helpful for previous students is the container of time that you are committing to. 

You are welcome to return to an existing project, start something new, or experiment with a medium that is new to you. We have had writers, painters, poets and people who haven’t picked up an art project in decades. There is no particular outcome to achieve and no expectation to produce something finished.
