Join us for a truly transformative experience as we delve into the world of Iwasaki Tsuneo's masterful artworks. This reflective workshop will be based on Painting Enlightenment: healing visions of the Heart Sutra. Through guided discussions and meditation exercises, you will tap into the spiritual essence of these artworks and find new meaning in your own life. Whether you are familiar with Tsuneo's work or just discovering it for the first time, this workshop will challenge you to think beyond the canvas and explore the connection among art, science and the Dharma.
