Creative Mindfulness on the Go with Karen Arsenault

Have you ever experienced being so immersed in a creative activity that you’ve lost track of time? This happens because creative activities such as art making, crafting, and gardening ease us into a state of mindfulness by enhancing our capacity for focus, concentration, inner peace, and calm. Regularly spending time in a mindful state has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, help us sleep better and promote a general sense of wellbeing. Alas, despite our best intentions, many of us struggle to prioritize time for our own self-care.

Experiencing the benefits of Creative Mindfulness can happen in as little as 20 to 30 minutes a day and can be done almost anywhere. During this 2-hour onsite workshop, using a portable kit containing an art journal and some simple supplies, we’ll look at what Creative Mindfulness is and how to make it a regular self-care habit.

Whether you are new to Creative Mindfulness or would like a refresher and some ideas to keep your practice going at home or on the go, this workshop is for you!
