Any yoga or brush and ink students requiring help or advice over this period is always welcome. Richard’s phone doesn’t have a ‘missed call’ capacity, so at least leave a number on his voicemail. Emails can be sent but it is a slower and more indirect form of communication.
Cancelled classes - *The Maribyrnong Community Centre organizes and takes enrolments for the yoga classes Richard teaches there. The centre has its own policy on cancelled classes which may differ from the classes Richard takes outside the centre.
If there is space, make-up classes will be offered, or for those who have paid for classes that have not gone ahead because of covid, your credit can be taken on into Term 4 classes or money returned to your account.
Please look after yourself. I’m thinking of you.
Richard has been teaching brush and ink since 1975. His classes & practice continue to develop and evolve.
Short Courses in Japanese Ink Painting and Calligraphy
Traditional Japanese calligraphy and many techniques of sumi painting require the practitioner to follow a prescribed choreography of ink, brush, paper, posture and breath. This develops a deeper mindfulness, a refinement of perception and a focussing of one’s innate energies. This approach will be complimented with recognition of each student’s uniqueness and a chance for them to improvise with brush and ink.
