  • Through a series of guided exercises, learn how to use meditative drawing to quiet the mind and focus the senses. We will incorporate both visualization and direct observation. Our goals will be to become more centered and observant, reduce stress, and support our physical, mental, and artistic well-being. Emphasis is placed on process, not the quality of the drawings we will create. In this class there is no wrong way or bad drawing, and you do not have to share your results unless you elect to. Some of our exercises will adapt stabilizing and analytical meditation techniques, but this is not a conventional meditation workshop. You do not have to have any prior experience with drawing or meditation. All skill levels welcome.

  • Maximum of 25 students
