Zen Calligraphy Workshop – Discover Calm Through the Brush

Experience the quiet beauty of Japanese Zen calligraphy in this gentle, meditative workshop designed for complete beginners. Guided by a professional calligrapher, you will explore how breath, posture and intention come together to create expressive, meaningful strokes.

Zen calligraphy is not about perfection. It is an invitation to slow down, to notice the present moment, and to allow the brush to reflect your state of mind. Through simple exercises and mindful practice, you will learn how to create bold, elegant characters that carry both aesthetic and philosophical depth.

During the session, you will:
• Learn how to hold and use a traditional calligraphy brush
• Practise fundamental strokes through mindful, playful exercises
• Explore the meaning of selected Zen words and phrases
• Create your own calligraphy piece to take home

All materials are provided, and no previous experience is required. This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in Japanese culture, mindfulness, or creative expression.
Join us for a calming and inspiring experience where art becomes a form of meditation.
