Art for the Inner I: Meditating with Artmaking
A practical hands-on class to deepen and support both your mindfulness/meditation practice and your artmaking.
Artmaking and meditation are a beautiful combination!  Meditative artmaking reduces stress, enhances concentration and promotes a feeling of flow and wellbeing.
 Meditative Art brings you into the present moment, makes you aware and attentive, peaceful and quiet, connecting to your larger, more spacious Self.
Slowing down by using breathing and body awareness to relax pressures and judgements, you will learn to make artistic images that are unique and authentic, that help you tune in to your inner self and its needs, let go of what is extraneous, experience the pleasure of play, and cultivate harmony inside and out. 
A range of colourful inspiring 2D and 3D materials are provided for you.
The class will include 15-20 minutes of seated meditation, so please bring what you need to be comfortable , eg cushions, comfortable clothes.
Time 2 -5pm  $55
