The Creative Power of the Mind - A Free Public Talk & Guided Meditation
Dallas Museum of Art
"Creation begins with vision."
-Henri Matisse
Everything begins in the imagination. Whether or not you think of yourself as a creative person, everyone has the ability to imagine and be creative in some capacity. Life itself requires both of these abilities, imagination and creativity, in some shape or form otherwise we remain stuck and our happiness limited. Through the artful practice of contemplation and meditation we are able to access and use the power of our imagination to create a better life for ourselves and those around us.
Join us for an insightful and inspiring talk with American Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Menla for an introduction to meditation and how to use meditation practice to tap into the creative power of the mind.
Open House at KMC Texas
