SUMMARY:Selfless Expression: A Creativity Workshop with Kevin Townley
DESCRIPTION:Selfless-Expression & The Five Buddha Families\nwith Kevin Townley\nSaturday\, May 23rd\n12pm et – 3pm et \nEvery person is inherently creative. But over time\, many people begin to believe otherwise. Anxiety\, self-judgment\, competitiveness\, distraction\, and the pressures of daily life can disconnect us from the impulse to make things. \nIn a new live workshop\, Kevin Townley will explore creativity through the lens of Vajrayana Buddhism and the teaching of the Five Buddha Families\, also known as the Five Wisdom Energies. These teachings suggest that emotions often experienced as obstacles such as anger\, craving\, pride\, jealousy\, or confusion are not problems to eliminate\, but energies that can be worked with\, transformed\, and expressed creatively. \nBased in part on his book\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look\, Look Again: Buddhist Wisdom Reflected in 26 Artists\, this workshop combines meditation\, discussion\, and real-time creative practice in community. \nTopics will include: \n\nWhat “self-expression” means in the context of Buddhist teachings on no-self\nHow difficult emotions can become creative material\nCreativity as practice rather than performance\nArt as beneficial expression for ourselves and others\nWorking with the Five Wisdom Energies through creative process\n\nParticipants will be invited to create during the workshop using any medium they like. Writing\, drawing\, painting\, movement\, music\, cooking\, collage\, and other forms of expression are all welcome. \nNo artistic experience is necessary. This workshop is open to artists\, non-artists\, blocked artists\, curious people\, and anyone interested in creativity\, meditation\, and transformation. \nWorkshop Details\nDate: May 23\nLength: 12–3pm et\nHosted by: Kevin Townley \nSliding Scale Pricing – Choose what’s right for you: \n$25  \n$50 \n$108  \n(Note: This higher price allows us to continue to offer programs like this and includes scholarships.) \nRegister Here\n\n  \nThe deadline to apply for a scholarship has passed.
