Mindfulness Series

Making mindful art invites meaning into our lives as well as joy and creativity. Done in this way, participants not only connect with themselves but with others in the community. All of these activities are designed to bring the qualities of calm, light heartedness, and upliftment. Each project in this series brings soothing energy to the busy mind and body and elicits feel-good hormones that bring positive energy forward.
