LOVING THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP
The long-running Visual Perception Workshop is at the heart of O’Hanlon Center. Recently we asked workshop participants for their thoughts.
I love doing art with friends…and then sharing it!
I love that it is a drop-in class andI don’t have to sign up ahead of time.
I like that I don’t have to know how to do art…It’s about our own creativity.
It is so much fun.
I love the creative atmosphere. It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process.
I like the mix of people and their art.
It is free and fun.
I like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world.
I look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam.
Being with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile. I feel lucky to have discovered this class. It informs me well beyond 4 hours on Saturday.
This Saturday workshop serves as a tool to open up all of my senses and I come alive.
The setting is gorgeous and serene.
I love Saturday class. I wouldn’t think of missing it. I come every Saturday, and have for years and years.

Her work has been included in many anthologies including the O.Henry and Pushcart Prize (three times), and she has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Arkansas Arts Council. She has won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Book Reviewing, been awarded residences at MacDowell, Yadoo, and The House of Literature in Paros, Greece.

Katy Butler is a Buddhist journalist and author of The Art of Dying Well. Her memoir, Knocking on Heaven’s Door was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and was chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the ten best memoirs of 2013.
She is at work on a new memoir about her search for love and enlightenment in her wild 20s and 30s.
Her writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Tricycle, the Buddhist Quarterly, Best American Essays, Best Buddhist Writing, and Best American Science Writing. Among other honors, she is a past finalist for a National Magazine Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. She will read from her new memoir-in-progress.
She lives in Mill Valley.
