Stone and Self - Stone Carving Workshop in August

In the stone’s stillness, there is great movement.  In the sculptor’s hands, there are great possibilities.

Schedule:
Friday, Aug 29 – After evening zazen
Saturday, Aug. 30 - 8AM – 4PM
Sunday August 31 - most of the day

As of 6.11.25 two openings remain in this workshop

Carving stone evokes a relationship of exposing secrets and accepting boundaries. Stone surrenders to the touch when honoring its strengths. The Self surrenders to the vision when attachments are released. Using hand tools, our goal will be to shape, refine, sand, and polish an alabaster stone that is relatively soft. Face your apprehensions and release your creativity.
