Are you wanting a little more "Calm" in your life, a way to slow down and just enjoy each day as it comes.
Does this mindfulness thing sound like a good idea, but you are not sure where to start?
This class will walk you through the process of creating space for yourself, to unwind, reconnect and become more mindfully aware through the activity of drawing. 

Over the next 10 days we will explore both simple and fun drawing techniques and easy and gentle mindfulness activities.   We are going to learn how to use the simple activity of drawing to become more present with each moment.

You do not need any drawing skills to take this class, it is for both the beginner and seasoned drawers alike.  We will be using simple basic shapes to create beautiful little mini mandalas. 

Each Day we will explore a new mindfulness technique while we draw. 

The days include three lessons each

Part 1 - Will be a introduction and explanation of the mindfulness activity for that day

Part 2 - We will trace a mandala design while working with the mindfulness techniques and I will guide you through different ways to experience the activity

Part 3 - Will focus on the drawing techniques, so that you can learn how to make your own mini mandalas using just the grids themselves

What you need for this class:

• Most days will only require pencil and paper.  A few days I will suggest items to have that may help you experience the day's technique a little better.  Such as a mug of coffee, or a choosing a different place to draw that day.
• Worksheets that I have provided for download

I will be doing this class exclusively with pencil and paper.  You may want to draw on your iPad instead and that is also ok, I have provided JPG images of the mandalas and the grid for this purpose.

By the end of this class you will have experienced 10 mindfulness activities and 10 drawing classes on making mini mandalas.  You will now have the tools to shape your own daily mindfulness drawing practice
