Big Brush | Barbara Bash

When Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche once said, "It is possible to make a brushstroke that expresses one's whole life" I took that to mean a very LARGE brushstroke. This was the beginning of my Big Brush practice.

DOING IT • THE JOURNEY • STROKES IN THE WORLD

The BIG BRUSH has been held by many hands over the years – from buddhist practitioners to corporate bankers to recovering mental health patients. Each time a brush stroke is made with full attention, aliveness enters the room and nourishes everyone.

WHAT IT IS
The Big Brush Workshop draws on ancient principles from the art of calligraphy and applies them to the present moment. It provides an insight-invoking experience of what it means to make a mark and bring the best of who you are to the world.

HOW IT WORKS
A series of calligraphy stations are set up each with sheets of paper, buckets of ink and large horsehair brushes. Participants step forward and are guided through a simple set of instructions in making a stroke. The marks are fully seen, then folded up and a new sheet is laid out for the next person. The instructions evolve and the sequence unfolds in silence.

"The Big Brush workshop provided a
safe space for me to explore power and
expression in new ways."
