Shambhala Art Graduate & Teachers Retreat
Please join us for a
Shambhala Art Graduate and Teachers Retreat
January 2013
“Dignity has a sense of authentic presence: it has authenticity; therefore it has presence. From that authentic presence, which comes out of nonaggression and gentleness, comes action. And from that, what is known as the four actions take place. According to the vajrayana tradition, these four basic actions are called the four karmas. They have to do with our experience of reality and our perception of art altogether - our perception of life, in this case.” Chögyam Trungpa
This will be a city retreat for both graduates of the Shambhala Art five-part program and authorized Shambhala Art teachers where we will explore the Four Actions in greater depth than is offered in the five-part program. The Four Actions, which are Pacifying, Enriching, Magnetizing, and Destroying, are tools used to bring about harmony and wakefulness in the creative process as well as everyday life. They are the vehicles for pure expression and compassionate action where obstacles become challenges and negativity is transformed into greater vision and truth. As an in-city retreat, it will be our goal to create a retreat-like container while we explore the Four Actions together.
