Arts-body-mind Personal Growth Masterclass

The Ten Icons of the Buffalo

A Creative Path to Search and Discover the Self

“We Seek Stillness in Movement,

and we Seek Movementin Stillness”

The Ten Icons of the Buffalo is a series of pictorial images accompanied by philosophy created in the Zen Buddhist tradition to orient and indicate a developmental path to the creative and spiritual self.  The buffalo in different asian traditional texts is often seen as a vehicle of knowledge and understanding associated with personal growth.

Everyday of this 5 day retreat we will work with 2 of the 10 icons.

We will experience and discover movement and meditations which will bring us to deepen the sense of becoming more aware of our natural self.

The Retreat is for who?

Adults of any age, without previous experience of movement or meditation. What is asked for is that a path of self knowledge has begun through other traditions or personal therapy. The participant comes with curiosity, respect for oneself and others, courage to confront moments of “not knowing”.  The course is developed and conceived for personal growth that may have applications in different professional areas such as education, rehabilitation, mental and physical health therapists.
