Unfolding Through Art
With Graham Price
Tuesday Nov 11 – Monday Nov 17 2025
In 1982, a collection of discourses, images and 44 exercises offered by Namgyal Rinpoche on the use of art experiences to unfold the being, were published in a book titled “Unfolding through Art”.
“The purpose of this exploration is not to produce a work of art but to “be” a work of art.”
This course explores COLOUR as a pathway to authenticity, that gold (Au) of your being, that resonates on the inner plane while supported by compassionate non-verbal visual enquiry. This dialogue invites you to become playfully curious, sensorially involved, with pigment and all of your senses, fully engaging with the supportive, alive Wangapeka environment and incorporating this into your meditative mandala of experience.
About Graham
In 1987, at a 10 day retreat in Taupo, Graham Price was directly introduced to this work. He spent an entire career supporting beginning students, teachers of art, and an international community of art education researchers into finding ways to support authentic response to the experienced world, using visual media.
His meditative journey continues to be supported by Chimé Shore, Tarchin Hearn, Namkhai Norbu, Cecile Kwiat, Sonam Senge, and Bonni Ross.

Dana (Koha, donation) means a gift freely given. Dana is the practice of generosity from the heart. Generosity opens us to give and receive; it strengthens the giver and supports the receiver. The course cost does not include a fee for Graham’s teaching. You are invited to offer Dana to Graham, to support him to offer this work now and in the future. If you wish to offer Dana, please bring cash, you can place it anonymously in the box in the main hall. It is traditional to give Dana at the start of the course.
