Open to All Ages!
Join us for this weekend program to explore the relationship between the ancient art of puppetry and the Buddhist tradition of mindfulness meditation. Participants can expect to learn the foundations of meditation practice, how to apply that mindfulness to activities "off the cushion", and dive into the core of puppet animation through solo and group activities.
What We'll Learn
-We'll explore the relationship between mindfulness and puppetry through the hands-on activities of collaboratively developing a new puppetry project together, constructing puppets and sets, and through our performance.
-We'll develop our understanding of what mindful meditation is and how to do it, especially for those unfamiliar with the practice.
Puppetry at Karmê Chöling
Karmê Chöling has a variety of open air, outdoor spaces which will allow for creativity in our puppetry projects. Weather permitting, the majority of our program will be held outside.
