The Spirituality of Japanese Gardens with Richard Dube`
I see the Japanese garden not as an object, but as a spirit, a matter of heart…
~ Sadafumi Uchiyama
Richard Dube` will lead a one day workshop taking guests on a zenful journey. During the workshop, participants will examine five basic forms of Japanese Gardens and their traditional elements. Through an understanding of the patterns implicit in Japanese Gardens, guests can see how to apply them in the context of an American Landscape. In addition, each guest will create a creative tool for exploring Zen Raked Gravel Gardens.
