One of the daily practices we were encouraged to foster during the program was art-as-meditation , to do something creative each day (e.g. make music, sing, dance, write, paint, draw, take photos, mold clay) without focusing on the product, only the process. All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The process is easy.
