MEDITATIVE WOOD WHITTLING

Wood Whittling is the art of carving shapes out of raw wood using only a knife. Often used as a meditation practice it is a relaxing process with thousands of years of tradition all over the world.

This workshop aims to apply the meditative aspect of woodworking in the process of developing a shift in our pattern of negative thoughts. While experimenting with a variety of different body and mind exercises, and working with wood, we can learn how to translate our emotions and experiences into abstract shapes and textures and make our own little wood sculptures.

The 7 series of workshops last 2 hours each and are held in small groups of 5 -6 people.
