“Presence of Light”

4th & 5th December 2025

This winter, One Drop Dojo is presenting a Japanese Calligraphy Exhibition at Leoparden Gallery.


During 2 days, you will have the opportunity to discover Japanese Calligraphy painted by Madenn, Qi Gong practice, and crafts from Kyoto.

“Presence of Light”

Thursday 4/12 & Friday 5/12
16:30 to 20:00


Are you a good friend to your Inner Light?

Do you remember moments of deep peace, contentment, and infinite tenderness?


This exhibition is an invitation to rediscover the spark in you,

to appreciate the subtle beauty of white space,

and to rest in the Presence of Light.

In this interactive exhibition, you can try Japanese calligraphy yourself with a short introduction to the ritual of Hitsuzendo, the Zen brush.


During the Vernissage, you are invited on a journey of the five senses through the Japanese tea ceremony, video screening from Kyoto, and embodiment practices (Qi Gong & Zazen).
