Emmie Biervliet

Emmie is a mixed media artist whose inspiration comes from journeys, mystical stories and the bizarre sights she has encountered on her travels. Her work has a dreamlike quality and is often based on the transitory nature of buildings from its planning and construction to its ruins and structure revealed. She is interested in cap-turing how the lives of former inhabitants have permeated into the build-ing. She exhibits regularly in the UK and internationally with shows in New York, Singapore and Hong Kong in the last year. To see more of Emmie’s work, stop by The Canteen May 1st-31st.

Artist of the Month

1

Now that April’s mood dampening showers have gone away, it’s time to settle into some good

old fashioned Spring-time-over-optimism about the weather, BBQs and shorts all round.

Following from the success of our annual Well-being Festival last month, we’re holding onto mo-

mentum with the Wellbeing Outrech Crowdfunder, see page 13 for full details.

We’ve also got a host of new weekly courses and classes added to our ever-growing roster, check out page 8 to see

what’s new.

Dzogchen Wonderment and VividnessSat 21st May, 10-4.30pm, £35/Conc £24Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen will give direct introduction to the silent sitting meditation methods of Dzogchen sem-dé – the totality teach-ing of the ‘nature of Mind’. Dzogchen is the most profound – yet simple and im-mediate of the three inner Tantras. The Lamas’ explanation of Dzogchen lays bare the problems which arise through our dualistic vision – and creates a sense of wonderment at the immense possibility for each individual.
