About the Event
"Drawing with Scissors," inspired by Henri Matisse's: Cut Outs.
Art of Observation
This retreat is an invitation to slow down and truly see. By shifting from detailed drawing to bold shapes, you move past the "label" of an object and begin to perceive its raw energy. This deep observation grounds you, turning the act of looking into a meditative practice that connects you to your surroundings.
Dexterity of the Hand
There is a profound, tactile joy in the physical act of cutting. Using scissors requires a unique kind of focus—a rhythmic coordination between hand and eye. As you carve through paper, transforming the creative process into a grounding, sensory experience that sharpens both physical dexterity and mental clarity.
