Tashi Norbu in front of his Sculpture “plastic soup”
TASHI NORBU’S INSTALLATION OF AN “URBAN BUDDHA” (4x3 m.) HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF RECYCLING AND THE DAMAGE PLASTICS CREATE ON OUR OCEANS. Many millions of plastic are thrown away each day on planet. To reduce that waste and set an inspiring and creative example, Artist Tashi Norbu enlisted the help of the inhabitants of Encinitas/San Diego and under the support of the “four Elements” space as well as the City Hall of Encinitas, he creates a stunning sculpture entirely of plastic waste, reclaimed from the ocean.  The locals call it “plastic soup” It is created using all kind of plastic collected from the Pacific – an amount which, is nothing of course, in comparison with the total of plastic debris polluting the oceans today.

 
Tashi was amazed by the reaction from the people of Coventry towards the project. They loved his “Urban Buddha” and wanted to be a part of making the sculpture. An exploration of the Artist in Encinitas which is named among the Best Surf Towns in the world, and known for its floral industry; located along six miles of Pacific in the north county of San Diego area, California Ocean coastline.


The installation, sends a message that is now more important than ever. It is a message and physical example of why it is necessary to change and learn about the use and dispose of plastic in the world of today. It is a reminder that all plastic thrown, eventually find their own way into the environment

A MANDALA WEEKEND OF 24th – 25th Nov.


 
Tashi Norbu at De Broodfabriek Festival, Rijswick The Netherlands. A Mandala weekend when Tashi presented the latest trends of his Artwork. Mandalas were dominating at the whole space, surrounded by Time Travelers exiting the core of being and flying around it. The Sanskrit Scriptures were underlying the sacred scenery which was depicted with raw mineral / pigment colours such as Tyrquoize or Lapis Lazouli. Further more, the most fascinated event was the creation of Sand Mandala on the floor, of 2,50 x 2,50 m.
This was created carefully and lovingly by Tashi and his Team and had to be destroyed at the end of the ceremony. It was completed at the end of the 2nd day and destroyed. It was made by raw pigments. Each of the viewers and audience carried home the precious colored sand made of all colors of the Rainbow, bringing luck and prosperity in the family. A great message to the world based on Buddha’s teachings:  “Everything in Life in Impermanent”

8th DECEMBER


8th December Marco Lier had a great surprise for all his employees! The Team was told to wear comfortable clothes - and as this wonderful place is located amidst nature, everyone thought they will run in the forest …. or something like that and the 30 people end up painting Buddhas under Tashi Norbu’s instructons!!
It is great that business people discover that painting with Tashi Norbu, being in a meditative state of mind with him, is the best gift for themselves in these times. 
Tibetan Buddhist Art workshop given by Tashi Norbu is a therapeutic form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 
The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people to resolve issues as well as develop and manage their behaviour and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness.

It can be used for counseling by therapists, healing, treatment, rehabilitation, psychotherapy. In the broad sense of the term, it can be used for self – realization, a deep understanding of ourselves.
