Calligrapher Kim Do-im brings calligraphy meditation to Seoul hotel rooftop

Calligrapher Kim Do-im will lead a K-Calligraphy & Meditation Class at the rooftop lounge of Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Myeongdong on Monday. The 120-minute session will commence at 6:30 p.m. The program will merge traditional Korean calligraphy with mindfulness meditation, encouraging participants to discover personal significance through art and express it via traditional calligraphy.

Kim has carved a niche for herself in the world of calligraphy, utilizing ink and brush, and has delved into themes such as love and life through her work. She specializes in Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, employing traditional calligraphy methods. Kim has exhibited her work in 11 solo shows and participated in over 100 group exhibitions in Korea and overseas.

This unique program aims to help participants unwind from their hectic schedules. It embodies Kim's belief that "repetition is not merely repeating the same act, but a means to observe how we transform from one moment to the next." The event will commence with a welcome session and a viewing of Kim's artwork, followed by a breathing meditation, ink grinding, and Korean cursive-style calligraphy.
