In this four-hour, hands-on workshop, participants will explore meditation and mindfulness practices through guided creative mark making with acrylic paints. There will be facilitated meditations and opportunities for independent exploration of paint on canvas. The focus will be on the process of opening to kindness in the creative process, and the use of creative expression as an entry point to a kind presence with self and others. This offering centers practices of meditation and mindfulness (specifically around being present in this moment, self-compassion, and the heart-expanding loving kindness practice).
All levels of experience in meditation and creativity are welcome. Especially beginners! This workshop will be a good fit for anyone who struggles to offer themselves kindness, and anyone who has a barrier to creative materials because of too much self-judgment. If you’ve ever wanted to get into meditation, but struggle with stillness, this could be a great entryway. If you’ve ever wanted to be more creative—from a place of freedom and joy—this is the place for you!
What is provided: All materials (paints, canvases, brushes, aprons, etc.) and light refreshments.
Participants are invited to bring a nature-inspired photo (optional).
Takeaways: Participants will identify specific strategies for being present in the moment (mindfulness), as well as exploring specific meditations for bringing kindness into the struggles of life (and creative process). Participants will have the opportunity to take home their canvas creation.
