Fall Art Practice Series – Returning to the Elements
Eight-week online art practice series exploring the Four Great Elements through creative work, Dharma teachings, and meditation on the Six Elements. Participants create in their own medium while engaging with Buddhist teachings on impermanence and Buddha nature.
About this retreat
This series invites you to work with visual or sculptural practice as a container for studying the Buddhist teaching of the Six Elements—earth, water, fire, air, space, and consciousness. Rather than art as therapy or self-expression alone, the retreat frames creative work as a direct exploration of impermanence and Buddha nature.
The center has not yet published details about the weekly schedule, how teachings and practice periods are structured, or what prior experience with either meditation or art-making is expected. Contact Zen Center of New York City / Fire Lotus Temple for more information about session length, whether live meetings are required, or how the online format is delivered.
