What’s on your mind in the new year? Discover beneficial thoughts and promote skillful actions to enhance wellness and self-discovery through the power of doodling.

“Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do.” - Napoleon Hill

Join us for an evening of art therapy where doodling takes center stage:

• Center Ourselves: Begin with simple mindfulness practices focusing on present moment awareness and self-compassion.
• Create Community Guidelines: Establish safety and containment intentions for the program.
• Stress Assessment: Use a spectogram format to discern current stress levels and group participants for processing experiences.
• Here and Now Doodle: Reinforce the practice of knowing the truth of the moment and choosing our relationship to it.
• Sharing and Inquiry: Engage in brief sharing of the mindful doodle experience in small groups and large group inquiry.
• Research-Based Protocol: Follow a PowerPoint presentation designed to illuminate beneficial thoughts and inspire habit changes for empowerment and balance.
• Doodle and Embellish: Create doodles of current thoughts, embellishing those that enhance life. Use mandalas to contain optimal thoughtscapes and promote positivity.
• Group Sharing: Validate visual outcomes through compassionate listening in small groups and large group inquiry.
• Gallery Walk: View each other’s artwork to notice common humanity and compassionate connections.

LOCATION | This activity takes place exclusively at Vizcaya Village, the estate’s historic farm village, and does not include access to the east side of the property where the Main House and gardens are located.

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY WELLNESS SERIES | This series is designed to create opportunities for community and wellness building through a variety of wellness practices. Workshop sessions feature expressive art therapy modalities, cooking demonstrations, and art-making activities. Thoughtful Thursdays will take place at Vizcaya Village during the Night Market.

To promote inclusion for all, Vizcaya ensures that all community programs, after-hour and weekend events for locals, feature activities that are physically accessible to all visitors. While not all areas of the estate are wheelchair accessible, community programs are purposefully located in areas without stairs or that can be accessed via a ramp.
