Life-drawing on the first and third Saturday morning in the month held in my studio in the Rhinower Str 10. One hour of short poses ( the length of a song from an eclectic playlist) a 20 minute or so break while we look at the work and compare techniques and exchange tips on materials while drinking a well-earned tea or coffee with a freshly-baked muffin, then another hour of drawing. In the second half, for those who wish I also roll up a plate with ink to monoprint direct from the model. You will go home with a lot of drawings and prints, new ideas and some new techniques. A perfect way to kick off the weekend!! Cost 30€. Bring your own drawing materials. I supply ink, palettes, water jars and rags. Beginners very welcome!!

Der Monat Stier kommt mit einem Geschenk: die Heilenergie - ein Licht, das uns hilft, die Höhen der Spiritualität, der Weisheit und des Wohlbefindens zu erreichen. Wie Rav Berg sagte: "Stier ist der Monat, in dem wir das Wissen und die Energie der Heilung anzapfen können. Was dunkel war, kann nun als Licht wieder erscheinen." Der kabbalistische Kalender basiert auf den Zyklen des Mondes, wobei jeder Monat auf unterschiedliche Weise auf uns einwirkt. Die New Moon Connection bietet uns die Möglichkeit, unser Bewusstsein für den Einfluss der einzelnen astrologischen Zeichen auf unser Leben zu vertiefen. Wir erlernen spezielle Meditationen, die uns dabei helfen, die Energie des Monats zu nutzen, um bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen, damit wir von einem Monat mit größerer Harmonie und Erfüllung profitieren. * **8:00pm** Kabbalat Shabbat Connection * **8:30pm** Cocktails & Consciousness: Sushi and wine will be served\* *Registration closes Thursday, 16 April at 12pm* Ticket-Preis: 42 Euro [Registriere dich hier!](https://onehouse.kabbalah.com/de/events/neumond_stier_17apr26-1775568785934321/tickets/)
