Groundworks Art Lab

Please join us for visiting artist Gayle Van Gils one-time class on contemplative art.

In this class we will explore the concepts of space, form, and energy and how they inform our creative process. We will do a series of exercises, including meditation, object arrangement, mark marking, and creating intentional environments. These tools help us open to the present moment and create from an open state of mind, without self consciousness. 

What to bring: 

• Natural or found objects to arrange
• Please bring food with you - we will incorporate an exercise that includes holding a contemplative meal.

Gayle is a senior meditation leader in the Shambhala lineage, and studied Dharma Art extensively with its founder Chogyam Trugpa Rinpche. She is also an experienced ceramic artist, specializing in large sculpture work.
