Carmen featured on Dutch national TV - Watch it now! ๐ŸŽฆ ๐Ÿ’– LAST WEEK to sign up for the Online Courses


Dear all,

โ€‹

โ€‹

โ€‹

In a previous newsletter I had let you known that the Dutch TV program 'Zin in Morgen' had been filming a full day during my Thangka Summer Retreat here in The Netherlands.
โ€‹
Last week it was broadcasted.
And now I can finally show it to you.

This portrait shows me teaching and interacting with my students, who also show their artworks and speak about their experience.

In the accompanying interview I speak about how I got in touch with Tibetan Buddhism, the importance it has in my life, my twelve years thangka painting study in an ancient lineage, how I created the Eight Auspicious Symbols for the Dalai Lama and how I met him personally.

LAST WEEK to sign up
for the upcoming Online Courses

โ€‹
Inspired by the Eight Auspicious Symbols paintings that I created for the Dalai Lama?
โ€‹
I'm offering an in-depth, 10-week Thangka Course on them, and you can still sign up for it!

And if you rather learn how to draw a Buddha Face as you saw my students do in the video, and learn how to draw White Tara (Buddha of Longevity), also this is your last chance to sign up for these classes:

PS 2

You are receiving this email because you've shown interest in the Nepal Buddhist Art Retreat and Sightseeing Tour that was announced as a possibility for early march.

โ€‹

Unfortunately we will have to postpone it, as I've come to the conclusion that, with all the different parts in organizing in Nepal that is involved, much more time is needed before I can open registrations. And this affects you, because you also need enough time to make your plans, take time off work and book flights.

โ€‹

I'm really sorry that this tour does not work out in 2026, but I hope to offer it in 2027 (in the same period).

And if all this goes well, you'll be the first to know!
