Enso is an art-making moving meditation. By painting a simple circle with specific intention and doing that act in a repeated fashion, the mindfulness of the actual act itself transforms your mindset away from painting a circle to a calm, centered feeling that results from traditional meditation.
You will learn a bit about the history of Enso, “play” with various techniques using the Chinese brush, watch a demonstration of making Enso art, experience some Qi Gong exercises, then practice the art of Enso by making many mindful circles. You will then enhance a selection of your circles using watercolor or acrylic paint and make a simple chop, or stamp, for an authentic look. The workshop will wrap up with sharing your circles to the group and relating insights or experiences you had while making the circles.
