Join the CSL community in this exploration of the relationship between spiritual practice
and artistic expression. Drawing inspiration from a short Zen teaching, we’ll explore
how meditation practice can connect us more reliably, more readily to a bigger, deeper
source of creativity. Our time will include discussion, guided and silent meditation, and
time to create with your medium of choice. You can bring your favorite art supplies or
use the supplies provided. No previous experience with art or meditation required. All
are welcome!
