Stories from
Our Practitioners
"That’s what I love about your classes I feel I belong and can get lost in the art of it and not feel judged. I know I have found a space and a place I love and will love more as I progress. I feel It’s tapping into my soul so must let go of thinking …thanks for allowing this to happen for me …I really mean that Yingge"

The most important thing about the event for me was to regain peace, concentration and respect for the sacred from posture to breathing. In short, a loving and conscious attitude that allows a stroke that has three moments: The landing, the journey, and the takeoff. Like life itself! It was very moving for me in many ways. Infinite thanks!"

You do not need to be an artist to enjoy the 4 Gentlemen courses…I am definitely no artistic! But I love the process of black ink in white and occasionally being quite pleased with what has appeared through my paint brush. And I am learning all the time to enjoy the process, not struggle with results!

An Online Community For You
A group of meditative ink brush practitioners who gather to practice, meditate, to share their joys and difficulties, and to encourage each other on the path of practice. Meeting regularly with others to practice and share together is a precious way to deepen our skills, cultivate our understanding and compassion and to re-establish our deep connection with others.
