Practice mindfulness the fun way, through art!

Mindful art is using the act of creating as a way to be in the present moment. With this type of art you are not striving for a specific outcome or to make something that looks "good". You are simply allowing yourself to play through creativity without concern for the end result. It's about the process, not the outcome.

In this 3-hour workshop you will learn fun and simple mindful art practices that promote relaxation, stress relief, and an increased sense of well-being. These are exercises anyone can do regardless of skill level. Exercises include simple mandalas, watercolor doodling and expressive collage.

Students need to bring either a 7x10 or 9x12 mixed media pad. All other supplies are included.

Ages 18+

Location: Inner Wisdom Healing Center in Worthington, Ohio

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good at art to take this class?

No! The art exercises are simple and accessible to people of all skill levels.

Do I need to know a lot about art supplies to take this class?

No! We explain the art process and how to use the materials at each class. Most of the materials we use are simple and don't require a lot of skill or knowledge to work with.

Do I have to show the art I make?

No! Sharing is always optional.

Why should I try mindful art?

Often times people who don’t consider themselves to be artistic feel that there is no point in creating art since they won’t be satisfied with the results. But studies have shown that you don't need to be "good" at art to benefit from the act of creating art.

Is mindful art the same as art therapy?

No. Mindful art is not art therapy and I am not an art therapist. Art therapy is a clinical method of treatment that has its roots in psychoanalysis. In art therapy, the therapist interprets the client’s work as a way to diagnose and address psychological problems. I do not analyze your artwork.

What are the potential benefits of mindful art?

Potential benefits include reduced stress, feeling calm and relaxed, enhanced creativity and an improved sense of well-being.

Organized by
