Full Bio & Programs

Spend a week in the beauty of the Berkshires, discovering and savoring the wonder of summer flowers and fields, lush forests, and sparkling streams, and creating art from what you see. Peter London, artist, author, and master guide, writes, “When we draw closer to nature through art, we draw closer to our Self and recover a lost sense of unity. This unity brings about rich, authentic, and ’grace full’ artistic expression and brings harmony to the rest of our life.”
This week, we engage the mind, body, and spirit and employ simple and powerful art materials and methods to encounter, reflect upon, and portray the ways of nature. All participants, regardless of prior experience, find a deeper and more satisfying artistic expression and are drawn closer to nature, both within and around.
Peter has taught his holistic approach to art to thousands, including art phobics and professional artists, at museums, colleges, art centers, and centers for holistic studies.
Recommended reading Peter London, No More Secondhand Art and Drawing Closer to Nature (both from Shambhala).
Note Tuition includes art supplies.
