The Art of Dorodango: Connecting with Earth and Cultivating Mindfulness Workshop
Description
Hello all! 🌿 Springburn Auditorium cordially invites you to attend ~The Art of Dorodango: Connecting with Earth and Cultivating Mindfulness~workshop on Saturday August 5th ,2023, 10:30am-1pm, led by Sana Obaid. Dorodango is a Japanese craft which involves making small balls of mud and polishing them with wet fingers to make them smooth. This craft is popular among children in Japan, but adults also take part in it as a hobby or artistic form. Dorodango transcends mere artistry; it is a gateway to profound meditation and creative expression; a process that demands complete attention, fostering mindfulness and focus. As you hold the earth in your hands and transform it into something sublime, a sense of humility washes over you. The act of creation, rooted in the elemental nature of mud, imparts invaluable lessons—simple yet profound. By truly immersing yourself in the process, your mind finds tranquillity, and you unearth the wisdom that lies within the simplicity of each step. Dorodango becomes a unique and meditative endeavour—one that fosters connectivity not only with the Earth but also with our inner selves.
