SUMMARY:Mindful Mark-Making: Watercolor Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxing session of mindful art-making. We blend the 7 essential principles of mindfulness with intuitive art practices\, using drawing and watercolors as tools for relaxation. You’ll be guided through a series of creative mark-making exercises and grounding techniques\, culminating in an extended\, meditative painting session. \nThis month\, we will use watercolor paints and mark-making tools to create abstract\, geometric or nature-based patterns on paper. \nWhat’s Included in Your Session:\n-Opening Guided Meditation & Focused Grounding Exercises.\n-The “Principles of Mindfulness for Art-Making” Takeaway Guide.\n-Hands-on instruction for line work and meditative mark-making.\n-An extended period of self-directed\, meditative painting and creation.\n-A closing sharing circle for connection and reflection. \nAbsolutely no art experience is required! All supplies—including rich watercolor paints\, drawing pens\, and acrylic markers—are provided for your use. Just bring your willingness to play\, and your desire to connect and share! \nRegister for Watercolor Patterns\n  \nArtist Bio:\nKara Ashley-Gilmore believes in the use of our innate creativity for our wellness and healing.
