Intuitive Art & Mindfulness at Pendle Hill (four-day workshop)

Adult Summer Workshop | This program is completed

This class merges meditative practices with intuitive art-making to foster mindfulness, self-discovery, and well-being. Through guided drawing exercises, meditation, breath work, intention setting, and body movement activities, participants will explore methods influenced by various meditative traditions. You'll learn to tap into your innate creativity, trust the intuitive art-making process, and release preconceived ideas about art. This experience encourages deep self-exploration, relaxation, and personal growth, all within a supportive space rooted in empathic understanding, congruency, and unconditional positive regard. No prior experience is necessary—just an open heart and mind.

Albert Fung

Albert Fung was born and raised in San Francisco. He earned his BFA in printmaking from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1992 and his MFA in painting and printmaking from Massachusetts College of Art in 1996. He paints in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastels; often in combination. He also makes prints in relief, intaglio, lithography, and ink jet. From 1993 to 2011, he made and exhibited his art in New York City. In addition, he printed limited edition lithographs and later digital photographs and editions for artists; later, he worked as an IT Director.

In 2003, he began practicing yoga, which through to today informs his spiritual and healing journey. In 2015 he gained his yoga teaching certification from Motherheart Yoga Sangha; and he has now taught yoga for over ten years. Yoga’s attitude of care and seeking has been a significant influence on his art teaching. In 2011, he moved to Philadelphia, where he continues to produce artwork.

He has exhibited widely, including at City Arts Salon; and he has taught at several art centers, including Fleisher, and universities, including Tyler School of Art, in the Philadelphia area. He is currently a Co Founder and Co-coordinator of Philly Crit; and he is a member of the Art Advisory Committee of In Liquid.
