Seeing from the Heart

The purpose of Miksang 'Good Eye' is looking and seeing with awake eyes, open heart and a still mind aligned. The meaning is to be open & enjoying the phenomenal world.

Infinite Unfolding

What-Is shows itself as the infinite unfolding of your everyday beauty, always and already present. When fully dissolving photographic ambition you make room for 'fresh'.

The end is the beginning

This Miksang Master is the logical and natural unfolding of all your previous Miksang programs.

I have designed this Miksang Master program for you to stabilize your confidence in the idea of infinite perceptions. Fully surrendering to this idea makes up half of your Miksang practice! This is where your very personal Miksang journey ends and begins, at the same time.

The ground of Miksang is the space of great awareness

In which everything takes place; you, we, the world as it is and your unique expressions of 'fresh'.

You dissolve your Miksang database you, knowingly and unknowingly, have been collecting

After all the courses you have taken and having practiced Miksang yourself, you also have developed some Miksang habits and Miksang ideas about Miksang pictures.

 Let 'fresh' be your prime directive in an ever changing phenomenal world 

Beyond circumstances are, beyond culture, beyond reasoning thinking, beyond your emotional state of being; there is always room to look freely, uninhibited, with gentle eyes, noticing what resonates, letting in what resonates visually. You become a Master in noticing what resonates uniquely for you, a Master in trusting the seemingly random perceptions, a Master in acknowledging your experience of moments of fresh seeing, vivd and joyful and letting it in, a Master in allowing yourself to come to a full stop and express it photographically.

4-day Miksang Master | April 18-21, 2024

4-day Miksang Master Retreat in Zandvoort aan Zee, Netherlands

Exploring in-depth the visual richness of the ordinary world, itis simplicity and its complexity.

With layers, paste-ups, juxtapositions and reflections and moments.

After all your previous Miksang retreats and classes this is your graduation as Miksang Master. This 'end' is the unending beginning of your very personal Miksang Journey.

 

What has been helpful on your Miksang Journey can also become an obstacle when thinking and discerning in terms of 'this is Miksang & this isn't Miksang'. Free from being against or for something, you land in the state of seeing with no other reference than being open and available, noticing what strikes you, and allowing it fully in.

Being aware of your openness and hesitations at the same time, choosing being fully confident.

In and after these 4 days you come to the intention of no intention. With your camera as a medium and state of being of seeing fresh you further crystallise clear being, clear seeing and embodying being receptive and perceptive, giving genuine creative photographic expression.

One moment at a time - unbound, free & joyful!

Day 1

Reflecting on your Miksang Journey so far

What is the foundation of Miksang Photography? This first day is on refreshing the base, core and practice of Miksang Photography, which never changes: your inherent ability for clarity,  clear seeing and seeing fresh. Knowing that the external world is as it is, reflecting infinite beauty.

A joy-based day of waking up to your direct surroundings, exploring the richness of reflections

  • • You will have the time to get into the groove of Miksang Photography, and refresh yourself. Refresh the Miksang Method of 5 + 1 steps. 
  • • Aligning your eyes, mind and heart, letting in what visually resonates, and taking your time to discern.

Day 2

Discerning complexity from complicated 

A further introduction into infinite unfolding. Taking your time and not being hesitant comes from trusting your perception and fully enjoying the unexpected. Each time you feel a flash of perception is a direct experience of seeing from your heart, as well punching gentle holes in the veil of your (ongoing) thoughts, letting in the brilliance of the already and always present ordinary beauty of the visual world.

On the beach, on the streets, as you have lunch, resting on a bench or waiting on the couch; there are no breaks in seeing and not seeing, seeing fresh is your northern compass

Part of mastering simplicity within complexity is discerning visual complexity from complicated. On this day we will explore layers and juxtaposition.

Day 3

"When you are undistracted on a busy market place, you are well-trained"

We visit Amsterdam Central Station and it's surrounding area. This busy place offers a tremendous richness of forms and figures as reflections, paste-ups, juxtapositions and all kinds of visual layers, with room to find quiet places as well.

From a place of heartcentredness, resting in greater awareness and stillness you align your eyes and mind looking. Keeping your Miksang seat in the midst of complexity, and balancing this with what you feel resonating to stroll around; busy area, less busy area, going back and forth as you let your strolling naturally unfold as well.

Day 4

Bringing it all together into totality

"See clearly, know what is, be decisive"

You are not looking at details, moments and space as form anymore as such, as an assignment; and you dissolve your Miksang database. You choose to shift to the joy of experiencing fresh perceptions, noticing, letting it in, appreciating, not shying away, having abandoned photographic ambition and fully surrendering to the idea of the infinite unfolding of perceptions and life itself.

We end this day with your Miksang Master graduation in a celebratory manner.

“See clearly, know what is, and act decisively”

“It’s a question of paying more attention to the space that exists around us. In doing so, we develop a sense of confidence, confidence that space exists in front of our eyes and that it is not demanding anything. It’s a free world, a truly free world. Obviously, in handling our life, questions and hesitations come up constantly. They are like the blank sheet of paper, the canvas. Out of those hesitations, we begin to make a move.” — Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
