Creative Mindfulness: Embrace the Power of Simplicity

Technology can make our lives run smoother, but at the same time, it can bring its own set of complications: being inundated with an excess of emails, messages, digital news, lead to burnout or a feeling that we may never catch up. How do we break this cycle?

 

This workshop is all about the power of simplicity, setting a morning intention and making a creative project using simple tools we have on hand. We will use coffee and tea as our painting mediums and learn to make our own art-making tools from found objects in nature. This class is a mindful reminder that every morning is an opportunity to start over and that we can reset the day in simple ways.
