8 Mondays: March 29 - May 17, 9:30  – 10:30 am

This is an online workshop via zoom.  Zoom invite sent after registration.

In this 8 week course we will dive into a meditation and drawing practice. Each class will start with a 5 minute meditation.

We will then explore a drawing exercise that encourages us to slow down and observe. The goal is to get in touch with our deeper selves, notice our thoughts, slow down and use the process of drawing to connect with ourselves and our environment in a new way.
