Mandala Making for Calm: A Creative Wellness Workshop
In this relaxing creative wellness session, we’ll explore the calming practice of mandala drawing.
Mandalas are circular patterns that have been used across cultures as tools for focus, reflection and balance.
Through simple shapes, patterns, and repetition, mandala making helps quiet the mind, regulate the nervous system and create a sense of calm. Many people find that this type of drawing naturally brings them into a meditative, focused state.
You will be guided step-by-step through creating your own mandala while learning how simple creative practices can support stress relief and wellbeing.
No art experience necessary - this workshop is about the process, not perfection.
Feel free to bring an art journal if you have one! Otherwise all materials are provided.
About the teacher:
Cat Thomas, MAT is an Artist & Expressive Arts Facilitator based out of Chattanooga, TN.
15 years ago, Cat intuitively began using art and writing as a therapeutic tool in her personal life. Once she experienced the true potential art has to heal the mind, body & spirit, Cat enrolled in the Expressive Arts Florida Institute in Sarasota, FL. After taking a weekend long intensive there, she knew her purpose was not only to create her own art, but to increase individual and community health & wellness by using the arts as a tool for healing, personal growth & self-discovery.
Since finishing her training in 2015, Cat has worked with 1000’s of people helping them connect with their creative selves so they may gain the therapeutic benefits of doing something creative. From working as an Artist in Residence at cancer center for close to 10 years to partnering with a local community to create a collaborative neighborhood street mural, Cat enjoys working with a variety of populations, and truly believes that when given the opportunity to create in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space people can transform their lives from the inside out.
