Meditative Drawing (online)

Meditative Drawing is a class where you will learn about meditative practices through drawing. We will study and discover how the ancient Asian cultures utilize drawing meditation practices, such as mandalas, and their variations such as the zen-tangles system to develop mindfulness. Moreover, you will learn about how to boost your creativity and the power and benefits of these practices for mind and body wellness.
