Calling all calligraphy instructors, lettering artists, and mindful creators! ✍️

The doors are open for the Calligraphy as Meditation Summit (beginning June 19), and we are looking for our final 5 teachers to complete this incredible 24-hour global online gathering. We are just 5 slots away from a completely full schedule, and we want to lock them in this weekend!

If your teaching style prioritizes how the art feels over how it looks—where you welcome shaky lines and guide students to view mistakes as just part of the breath—we want you at our table. Whether you teach basic script strokes, brush lettering, or any form of mindful writing, this is your space to share that peace with a global community.

✨ Why teach with us?

➨ Connect with a deeply engaged, global audience eager to learn mindfulness.

➨ Share your unique instructional voice in a supportive, warm environment.

➨ Help us create a 24-hour sanctuary of quiet rhythm, stroke by stroke.

Letters as a system. Design with intention. 📐

We are thrilled to introduce another incredible instructor joining us for the Flourish Festival of Letters and Art this October: Elmo van Slingerland!

Trained as a graphic and type designer at the prestigious Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, Elmo brings a rare, masterful depth to the world of calligraphy. His thoughtful, precise approach shifts the perspective entirely—helping students see letters not just as pretty forms on a page, but as interconnected systems rich with history, logic, and immense expressive potential.

If you want to sharpen your technical accuracy while unlocking a completely fresh way to view structure, space, and rhythm, learning from Elmo is an absolute must.

Don't miss the chance to experience his brilliance in person!
