Explore meditative drawing methods using a variety of techniques in pen and ink that encourage and nurture creative flow: continuous line drawing, freeform patterns, Zentangle* and more contemplative mark-making.

• Journey into creativity, play, and meditation;
• Learn to let go of expectations;
• Tame the inner critic and honor process over product; and
• Experience new ways to center down and build community through art, creating a safe space to share and process what it means to be creatively connected to the inner light.

No art skills are needed whatsoever, just an opening to trust that we all are capable of making mindful art and sharing our gifts.

*Zentangle® is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and intuitive method of drawing black and white abstract images using structured patterns.
