Creating Peace Through Art
With JinAn Wong
Music by Loren Wilken
/
Join us this Sunday where we’ll explore how art can awaken peace and harmony within.
By honoring the ancient wisdom of stones—timeless witnesses that have endured fire, oceans, and ages—into a creative, hands-on art experience using smooth rocks as our canvas. We’ll create collaborative peace rocks, inscribing words of kindness or peace on one side and expressing their meaning through drawing & painting on the other, then sharing our stories in a circle of connection.
This meditative practice invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and let creativity become a pathway to inner calm and collective compassion.
"Let the quiet power of art restore our peace & harmony, come with an open heart and leave with a deeper sense of what peace means to you," says JinAn.
Although most of his New Thought friends know him primarily as a teacher of Tai Chi, JinAn is an artist by profession. He was trained as an animator in the Disney organization in the traditional apprentice system that was customary in pre-computer days. His credits include many well-known animated films and TV shows.
Since he relocated to Big Island in 2016, he has taught art and animation at Konawaena Middle School, Ehunui Hawaiian Immersion Language School, and Hoʻokenna Elementary School as well as doing special programs at S.K.E.A. Presently he teaches art at Kuleana Education Academy.
JinAn received many awards including an Emmy and a CLIO, for his work in Animation spanning over 30 years in the Hollywood film industry. His earlier works include "TRON", "Heavy Metal" and "Dora The Explorer." More recently he served as Art Director and Director of "Tales of the Maya Skies," an animated Full Dome Feature film which has played at planetariums throughout the US.
Born in Chinatown, San Francisco, and raised in a family of Kung Fu & Tai Chi masters, Jin An Wong learned martial arts at an early age. His grandfather was a Tai Chi and Kung Fu master; he studied with his uncle, Master Guk Gan at the Taishan Tai Chi Academy, China. He continues to offer a weekly class at New Thought Center including Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
