Japanese Calligraphy class in Uppsala
Serene and powerful, the practice of calligraphy offers you a way to express your life energy.
Zen with ink and brush
Calligraphy is done from your Essence.
Each session begins with Qi Gong movements.
Then we practice abdominal breathing and aligning the body while holding the brush.
Through repetition of the strokes, you develop qualities of focus and openness.
With the calligraphy group practice, you experience how to connect with yourself and with others.
No prior knowledge is necessary, no artistic skills, no experience of Chinese or Japanese writing.

About Hitsuzendo
Hitsuzendo, the Way of the Zen brush, is a form of calligraphy based on the principles of Zen.
Even a single straight line can be the mirror of the spirit.
Instead of aiming for aesthetic qualities, the calligrapher cultivates a clear state of mind to express his True Nature.
