This workshop offers a relaxing and engaging art therapy experience focused on mindfulness and simple mark-making. Using watercolors and basic drawing materials as tools for relaxation\, participants will be guided through a series of creative mark-making exercises and grounding techniques\, followed by a longer\, meditative mandala painting session. The painting sessions will incorporate the basic principles of mindfulness\, like non-judgement\, patience\, and acceptance\, to help you stay present and at ease. \n  \n  \nSession Outline:\n1. Introduction & Welcome (10 minutes): Group members will introduce themselves and their intentions for our time together. The facilitator will introduce the 7 principles of mindfulness and the concept of mindfulness-based art-making. \n\n Mindful Mark-Making (45 minutes): Participants will be guided in at least 3 methods for using art-making as a mindfulness practice. The facilitator will provide simple\, step-by-step instructions while encouraging a free\, intuitive process and prompts for breathwork and somatic awareness.\n Break (5 min)\n Mandala Creation (30 min): Participants will create an intuitive\, abstract mandala drawing.\n Clean up (10 minutes)\n Closing & Reflection (20 minutes): A moment for participants to reflect on their experience.
