Art of Being

Welcome to Art of Being! My name is Michael Anderson. I’ve been teaching art for over twenty-five years, and I am a certified mindfulness meditation teacher and retreat leader. I’ve been a student and practitioner of meditation since 2005.In that time, I have found a fertile field of richness at the intersection of these three paths of art, teaching, and meditation. Each path informs and deepens the others in the form of a spiral, extending outward. I offer these teachings and practices in that spirit, and hope they can be of benefit to you on your own journey.Whether you are interested in cultivating mindfulness in your life, re-connecting with your creative artist self, or simply growing in fondness for this great human life, I will be honoured and delighted to work with you! At the current time, Art of Being offers an annual mindful arts retreat in Sicily, occassional local events in Vienna, Austria, and a number of online programs.
