Balanced Rock Sculpture Workshops in the ACCI Gallery Garden

I'll start with a brief demonstration and introduction to the physics, techniques, and aesthetics of balanced rock sculptures. Then I'll invite you to work in a spirit of playful exploration while I offer one-on-one instruction. 

No previous rock balancing experience is required. Everyone's work will be included in the online gallery I create from workshop photos. Making balanced rock sculptures: an art form, a working meditation practice, a tangible connection to Earth, an avenue for self-discovery and personal growth, a playful exploration of the force of gravity and other laws of physics, a paradigm for solo and group empowerment, a form in which to practice equanimity during collapse and rebuilding, and a joyful and moving way to connect with others and with the environment.

For details, links to photos, map link, and registration info, see the workshop invitation page.
