Happy 2022 Everyone!
Do you like resolutions? I personally am not a fan.
I wanted to share with the TPC community a free opportunity that I am hoping can provide a different perspective on the new year.
It is a virtual exhibition of the Japanese calligraphy tradition of Kaki-zome (書き初め), one of the most important traditions in Japanese calligraphy (Shodo 書道) – and translates to ”first writing (of the year)”. We set our yearly intention during this tradition by writing a character (ji・字) piece.
I’m hosting a FREE Kaki-zome exhibition that covers Japanese calligraphy, how it ties into wellness and mindfulness, and the beauty of complete presence (mushin 無心) through this moving meditation that may be of benefit to you all as you kick-off 2022.
Hope to see you there!
Lexi Radcliffe-Hart wrote a beautiful piece on ”The importance of choosing your word(s)” that I loved reading and would definitely recommend! >>
