The Empty Page: A Zen Book Arts Practice

  • Mountain Rain Zen Community 2016 Wall Street Vancouver, B.C. Canada (map)

The Empty Page: A Zen Book Arts Practice invites you into two hours of mindful creative practice. Through simple materials and quiet focus, you’ll craft a hand-bound book using the Japanese stab-binding method as a vessel for presence and reflection. Each stitch, and mark becomes a breath, a moment of awareness. We begin with grounding meditation, move through intention-setting and making, and close in reflection together. No art experience needed—just a willingness to slow down and meet the empty page with open hands and heart. All materials provided, though if you have a special paper you would like to use for the book covers, please bring it along.

Workshop fee: $30 includes materials
