Let Go and Flow: The Spiritual Art of Stone Carving
Our stone carving workshops offer more than just a creative outlet; they are a profound lesson in the Practice of Surrender.
You’ll begin with an idea, a vision for what you want to create. But the magic happens when you let the stone guide you. Stone has its own story, its own grain, and its own unique character. You can’t rush it. You can’t force it. You have to listen to it.
This is where the real spiritual work begins.
- Surrender Your Plan: Forget the rigid blueprint in your mind. Learn to work with the natural form and texture of the stone, allowing the sculpture to evolve organically. The stone might lead you down a path you never expected, revealing a form more beautiful than your original plan.
- Surrender to the Process: Each gentle tap of the mallet, each careful scrape of the file, teaches you to trust the journey. You’ll learn to release your attachment to the final outcome and find joy in the slow, deliberate, and meditative process itself.
- Surrender Your Ego: This practice gently chips away at the ego’s need for perfection and control. You’ll discover that true mastery lies not in dominating the material, but in collaborating with it.
Join us to learn how to sculpt with intention, patience, and a quiet sense of trust. You’ll leave with a unique piece of art that is a testament to your hands, your heart, and the wisdom of the stone itself.
