Tijdens deze weekendcursus leer je De Boeddha te tekenen volgens de oude Tibetaanse traditie van thangka (rolschilderingen). De officiële naam van De Boeddha is ‘Boeddha Shakyamuni’, en het Boeddhisme zoals wij dat in huidige vorm kennen is op zijn leringen gestoeld. Naast de tekensessies kom je tijdens deze cursus ook via korte meditaties, dialezingen en uitleg van de mantra van de Boeddha meer te weten over zijn achtergrond en symboliek. Dit geeft het tekenen van je Boeddha zoveel meer diepte.
Met verschillende onderwerpen om uit te kiezen, oa. De Boeddha, MedicijnBoeddha, Mandala van Vijf Elementen. Deze 8-daagse Zomerretraite is geschikt voor cursisten op alle niveaus. Het onderscheid zich door de persoonlijke benadering en begeleiding (Carmen neemt vantevoren contact met je op om te bespreken wat het beste onderwerp en aanpak voor jou is) waardoor de retraite geschikt is voor beginners (ook mensen zonder enige tekenervaring), half-gevorderden, en gevorderde thangkaschilders.
Verder werken aan je thangka of tekening die je bij Carmen Mensink bent begonnen, in de meditatieve setting van Boeddhistisch Centrum Maitreya Instituut Loenen
