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.
Karen’s interest in meditative mandalas, her love of watercolors, and a deep belief that true calm comes when immersed in the creative process have converged in a technique she’ll share during this 4-week workshop. The workshop project is process-orientated and relaxing!
- Some experience with watercolors is helpful but is not necessary
Open to Healing Garden Clients only. Pre-Registration is required as space is limited. This class will meet at the Healing Garden.
