Fostering Wellbeing Through Creative Mindfulness: Meditative Spiral Drawings

Spiral symbols are seen in the ancient artifacts of many cultures.  They symbolize growth, expansion, and surrender, which our ancestors were highly connected to.  During this 2-hour Creative Mindfulness workshop, we’ll explore some of the ideas as we create our own meditative spiral drawings and consider ways to incorporate the power of spirals into our daily life.  No special skills or ‘art’ experience is needed.

About the Facilitator: A metastatic cancer survivor since 2011, Karen Arsenault has found the creative process invaluable in navigating the fear and uncertainty of the cancer journey.  Through the many expressive arts workshops she has participated in, Karen developed a passion for watercolors and now gives back by developing and facilitating her own Creative Mindfulness workshops and donating her art in several forms to The Healing Garden.
