Spiritual Portrait Sessions

Spiritual Portrait Sessions

Baring your Soul on Paper

Art exposes the hidden corners of one's soul. Spiritual art is a magical practice that brings healing and peace into our lives. Spiritual Portrait is a painting – a gate into your inner world that is followed by a spiritual message.

The artwork connects you to your light and the qualities of the soul that you came to manifest in this life. Looking at the painting in the outer world, you get inside yourself. You look at the picture and the picture is looking at you. This is a mysterious process. The portrait also contains a poetic message that helps in understanding the symbolic language of the artwork.

To create a painting, the physical presence of the person is not needed. The artist simply needs a recent photograph and our name. When the portrait is ready, we are offered an individual session where we dive into meditation and connect with the healing power of our portrait. The artwork will be made on a professional paper with ink, pencil and watercolors.

Mexican Music Evening

Mexican Music Evening

Performance by Nacho Sin Salsa

Nacho sin Salsa is a group of musicians that play the music from the southern part of the state of Veracruz, called Son Jarochoâ. Son Jarocho is a traditional musical style that emerged during the colonial period of Mexico as a mix between Spanish, African and indigenous music and dance. Son Jarocho is distinguished by its percussive rhythm, syncopation, vocal style and improvisation in its harmonic and rhythmic framework and verse. The dance aspect of Son Jarocho is the defining characteristic of the tradition. The Zapateado footwork provides a rhythmic compliment to the instrumental and vocal accompaniment.  Traditionally, this music is played in social events called Fandangos. Men, women and children dance on a wooden plank, while the musicians surround the plank and play their instruments and sing

Darkness Meditation

Darkness meditation is used by many spiritual schools such as Tantra, Zen, Sufism and Taoism. It is synonymous with relaxation and deep calm. 75 percent of our energy flows through our eyes so in darkness this energy becomes available to us to experience the beyond. It becomes possible to know what is true and to really see for the first time what cannot be seen with the two eyes.

In this first phase of the new moon night, we will begin with a special breathing technique, gaze at a candle, connect to our navel center flame through body movements and finally gaze into darkness. We will experience the joy of becoming formless feeling one with existence.

It is rare to find a place where one can experiment with meditation methods in complete darkness. At Zorba the Buddha, we have created a special environment for this powerful experience in which you would want to indulge again and again.
