Shambhala Art Teachers’ Training
for Parts 1-3, Dates May 15-18, 2008 .
- Program Location:
Karme Choling, 369
Patneaude Lane, Barnet, Vermont USA 05821
The Shambhala Art
Program is a 5 part introduction to the
dharma art teachings of the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. It is
offered at many Shambhala Centers in the international mandala and can serve
as an outreach program in the larger community. The Shambhala Art Teachers’
Training Seminar is a program for those who want to study these dharma art
teachings and to teach them within the format of the Shambhala Art Program.
Those already teaching in the program are also strongly
encouraged to deepen their
study and practice by retaking teacher trainings. There are three levels
of Shambhala Art teachers: Assistant Teachers, Teachers of Parts 1-3, and
Teachers of Parts 1-5. This teacher’s training seminar is for parts
1-3 of the 5 five part program. A seminar for parts 4-5 will be
offered at a later date.
This teachers training program requires significant advanced preparation
(see requirements below). The Shambhala Art Program is not re-taught
during this 3 day training. The program has grown and evolved during
the past decade. Therefore, if you have not taught recently, or completed the Shambhala Art
Program several years ago, you should consider attending the preceding
Shambhala Art Intensive. The Teachers Training will, in large part, consist of each
participant making three brief presentations and peer reviews.

a member or friend of a Shambhala Meditation Center.
- Have some
experience teaching and or have taken a teacher training course, which
can be inside or outside of the Shambhala-Buddhist Sangha.

connection to the arts as an artist, aspiring artist, teacher, student,
curator, collector, lover of art, etc.
- Have
completed the five-part Shambhala Art Program (Note: The entire
five-part program will be offered in the five days preceding the
teachers’ training in Los Angeles. Please see above).
- Meditation
experience: Those wishing to become assistant teachers should have
completed a Weekthun (7day Shambhala Center meditation program, or
equivalent.) Those wishing to teach parts 1-3 should have attended a
Dathun (a month-long meditation program at a Shambhala Center
.).
- Study
experience: Familiarity with the Dharma Art Teachings as found in Volume
7 of the Complete Works of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Completion of
Vajrayana Seminary is highly recommended. At

- MEDITATION
FOR THE ARTIST
May 14-July 2
Wednesdays 7-10, 8 sessions (some on campus, some off campus field trips)
Art Center College @ Night, South Campus, Pasadena. ACN-018W-01, Noncredit,
No prerequisite. Tuition: $415
www.artcenter.edu/atnight 626.396.2319
or e-mail: acan@artcenter.edu
Art making and art viewing
are inherently contemplative activities and naturally benefit from
meditation. Meditation for the artist involves applying the disciplines of
mindfulness and awareness to one’s process. Doing so in the creative process
leads to clear perception, true spontaneity, and pure expression. It
dissolves creative blockages and reveals the source of creativity. In the
viewing process, meditation develops intuition, our felt sense, sharpens our
native intelligence and can lead us toward an experience of the sublime.
This eight-week course will teach meditation and include contemplative
exercises to awaken both the creative and the viewing process. During the
first four weeks, perceptual exercises, meditation instruction, and
non-objective brush and ink painting will assist you in experiencing the
creative process with fresh eyes, fresh senses and an open mind and heart.
During the second half of the course, felt- and thought-sense exercises,
object arranging, and field trip(s) to museums will assist in opening up to
a contemplative viewing process that will take you beyond your current
boundaries.
