Color & Chill: Connecting in Wellness through Coloring

Color & Chill was created to cultivate an inclusive community of wellness through the joy of coloring. Our mission is to provide a creative and mindful space for adults to explore the therapeutic benefits of coloring. We aim to foster a community of relaxation, self-expression, and wellness through the simple act of putting colored pencil or crayon to paper.

This event is a restorative escape from our daily stresses through the effortless act of coloring—in or outside of the lines! This mindfulness practice allows you to quiet your mind, rejuvenate your mental wellbeing and help you to take on the week ahead.

About Mental Bar

Drawing from their backgrounds in event organization, yoga, reiki, and personal wellness, Tommy and Daneyel created The Mental Bar, a local coffee and tea house that brews community.

With a safe and comfortable space to eat, drink, host events, and promote wellness, The Mental Bar brings Encanto Village a walkable destination where healthy rituals can take root, culture can be shared, and the underserved can be well-served. It’s a veteran-owned, black-owned, woman-owned, family-owned space that’s not just changing what coffee looks like in San Diego, but changing the outlook of health and unity in the neighborhood they call home.
