Join artist Kara Ashley-Gilmore for a special session of Mindful Mark-Making. We invite you to tap into the calming power of your hands and breath as we use watercolors and drawing tools to guide you on a journey of relaxation.
This session will lead you through a series of grounding techniques and expressive exercises, allowing you to lose yourself in a meditative session of painting and mark-making. You'll learn to create layered, nature-based patterns, finding a deep sense of flow and inner calm. This is a gentle, process-oriented practice where the focus is on the journey, not the final destination.
All you need to bring is a willingness to play and a desire to connect. We’ll provide everything else, including:
-An opening mindfulness meditation to center you.
-Bilateral drawing and breathwork warm-up exercises to get your creative energy flowing.
-An extended, intuitive painting session where you can explore line, color, and shape without judgment.
-A closing circle to share insights and reflections.
Come get messy and reconnect with yourself through the joy of creating!
