meditative japanese calligraphy night

  • Cloud 276 Prinsengracht Amsterdam, NH, 1016 HJ Netherlands (map)

indulge in an evening of tranquility and artistic expression at our "Meditative Japanese Calligraphy Night"

Join us for a journey into the serene world of Sumi ink making with Calligrapher Lanka, where every brushstroke is a meditation in itself.

Under the gentle glow of candles, find yourself drawn deeper into the present moment with each brush stroke. As the scent of ink fills the air, immerse yourself in the soothing ambiance and let the stresses of the day melt away.

We will explore the artistry of Japanese calligraphy through 8 foundational strokes.

You will be invited to infuse your unique spirit into the character 永(meaning eternity), symbolizing the timeless nature of your practice and the infinite possibilities. Allow yourself to be carried away by the flow of ink and the rhythm of your breath, as you create a masterpiece imbued with the essence of your own journey.

Join us for an evening of mindful creation.

The minimum amount of participants for the event to take place is 4 people. If you’d like to come, please get your ticket asap. 

Also please respect our no refund policy 48h before the event, in order to ensure fair planing for the organisers. We hope you understand. In individual cases please feel free to contact us.
