For those who struggle with compulsive thinking or anxiety, quieting the mind can feel impossible. This 4-week workshop series offers a creative path to stillness, using art as a meditative practice. Each session explores a new medium—watercolor pencil, colored pencil, and scratchboard drawing—designed to engage your focus and bring you into the present moment. Alongside hands-on creative exercises, we’ll also learn the basics of zazen, a practice that helps us recognize the consciousness behind our thoughts.
Through your own creativity and with practice, you will be able to observe thoughts without attachment, release their hold, and find calm in the process.
No prerequisite skills or meditation experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to discover how creativity can become a lifelong tool for clarity, resilience, and inner peace.
