About this Event
Awaken your intuition through the soul soothing practice of Drawing Meditation, a guided creative journey of processes, to open the mind and unwind.
With the flickering glow of candlelight, we will convene to unlock your inner vision and the language of automatic techniques. This workshop invites you to explore drawing Meditation, a freeing practice of forming fluid shapes through continuous line drawing to enter a meditative flow state, and interpreting abstract forms by tapping into the subconscious.
Led by interdisciplinary artist Rose-Marie Luk, this two hour workshop will include:
- Guided meditation, breathwork, visualisation, and body awareness
- Automatic drawing and continuous line exercises using graphite, charcoal, or ink
- Experimental mark-making inspired by surrealist practices
- Candle wax divination (carromancy) and interpretation of abstract forms
- Reflective writing and stream of consciousness exercises
About Rose-Marie Luk
Rose-Marie Luk explores her cross-cultural identity through transformative art practices that channel ancestral wisdom, evoke forgotten memories, and uncover hybrid creations. Using automatic techniques and sigil calligraphy, she bridges the sacred and the spiritual, transmuting confoundment into clarity. Rose-Marie’s practice speaks to lost languages and evolving identities, encouraging connection, growth, and self discovery. In this workshop, Rose-Marie channels automatic techniques to help you reconnect with your authentic inner voice and discover the alchemy of transformation.
