SUMMARY:Full Fathom Five: The Buddha Families & Creative Expression
DESCRIPTION:Full Fathom Five: The Buddha Families & Creative Expression\nwith Kevin Townley\nSaturday\, November 14\n11am–3pm ET \nWhat kind of artist are you\, and what does the way you make things say about how you see the world? \nIn Vajrayana Buddhism\, the Five Buddha Families describe five patterns of human experience: five ways of seeing\, sensing\, responding\, and making sense of the world. Each has its own wisdom\, its own blind spots\, and its own creative potential. \nIn this workshop\, Kevin Townley discusses all of them as a map of creative expression. \nThrough meditation\, conversation\, and making\, we’ll look at how each of us naturally creates. What do you reach for? What do you avoid? Where do you get stuck? What changes when you stop forcing yourself to create a certain way? You won’t leave as a different kind of artist. You’ll know more about the one you already are. \nYou can write\, paint\, dance\, compose\, bake\, make collages… and it’s okay if you haven’t made anything in years. During the workshop you’ll make something of your own in any medium you like\, with time to experiment and reflect. No artistic experience is needed\, whether you’re a working artist\, creatively blocked\, or someone who has never thought of yourself as “creative.” \nWhat we’ll cover:\n* The Five Buddha Families and the wisdom energies they represent\n* How those energies show up in creative work\n* Your creative strengths\, habits\, and blind spots\n* Using meditation to change how you approach making \nWorkshop Details\nDate: Saturday\, November 14\nTime: 11am to 3pm ET\nHosted by: Kevin Townley \nSliding Scale Pricing – Choose what’s right for you: \n$25  \n$50 \n$108  \n(Support at the highest level helps make scholarships and lower-cost programs available to others.) \nRegister Here\nOne scholarship is available for this workshop.\nThe deadline to apply for a scholarship is November 6.\nWe will notify all applicants by November 9. \nApply here for a scholarship
