The Art and Spirituality of Persian Calligraphy with Nahid Boustani

Overview

Join us for a workshop of conversation and hands on experience to connect with the art and spirit of Persian calligraphy and meditation.

Being centered is the fundamental rule of doing calligraphy and receiving divine creativity. Leaning on the rich history of Persian calligraphy and using principles of meditation, we will enter a safe space to release tension, disconnect from the overactive mind, and enter a state of presence to receive divine creativity.

We will learn about the ergonomics of the Qalam, the chemistry of ink, the sacredness of writing (from China and Japan to the Middle of East) and master ourstrokes at the intersection of technique, spirit, and beauty. Experience bringing it all together under the force of love and presence and making it happen in one session. Set your intention to leave with a piece to be framed.
