Zen Arts

Zen has a long history of association with arts such as calligraphy, poetry, ikebana (flower arrangement), pottery, garden design, sumie, and tea ceremony. When we engage in art-making from the deep source of contemplative practice, what emerges is beyond personal expression. 

Mountain Rain has hosted calligraphy workshops and haiku-writing retreats, and Dharma Film Nights. We also host Zen Poetry events.
