Drawing & Painting the Buddha according to the
Tibetan Buddhist tradition
1440 Multiversity, Santa Cruz County, CA
The 1440 Multiversity is a new school in the immersive, peaceful, and natural setting in the redwoods of Scotts Valley, California.
The Multiversity offers skills for better living, creating a place where you can choose your path to a better life – on purpose, with practice.
This exciting place opens in May 2017 and Carmen Mensink is asked to be one of the teachers there, offering a thangka retreat from July 9-14.
In this course you will learn how to draw & color or paint the Buddha in the Tibetan tradition.
The retreat is suitable for everyone, including beginners with no drawing experience.

“Clear & simple with the indepth essence of a profound meditation!”
Student at the Retreat Week at Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY
“We had a really fun five days, Carmen was really a dedicated teacher, it was amazing how we all didn’t really
know what we were doing at first, but got guided through the process and we all ended up making nice stuff IMO. …We did a cool meditation every morning that was tied into the specific buddha that we were all drawing/painting. Carmen’s great – sincere, supportive, humble & enthusiastic.”

“Having been stuck in my own art practice for a number of years, Carmen’s class helped me not only break through that stuckness, but also integrate new, old & unfolding learnings. It is a beautiful amalgamation of mindfulness, art, meditation.
We learned, applied & had opportunity to try new techniques & ask plenty of questions. I look forward to taking class again with Carmen next year!”
