Let's Paint like Matisse: An Art and Meditation Practice
Create a beautiful painting and learn easy meditation practices that you can use in your everyday life.
Description
As a chaplain and creativity facilitator, I have spent the last 15 years developing classes and workshops that infuse creativity and mindful practices in a way that is not intimidating and can be experienced in wonderful and unexpected peaceful ways.
This class offers insight into the life and work of Henri Matisse and create a beautiful painting that you will be proud to hang in your home or to give as a gift.
Have you been interested in learning more about meditation?
Are you someone who wants to be more creative but does not have a ton of time or supplies, let alone an art space?
Are you someone that is intrigued by the idea of integrating meditation and creative practices?
Are you someone that has already experienced the benefits of meditation and creativity and would like to take class that allows you to enjoy the process of experiencing the two practices?
As an Art teacher for Pre-K through 6th grade as well as adults, I have helped hundreds of students experience the way just 20 minutes of ‘art time’ changes the mood and offers a sense of grounded. These practices change the atmosphere in a classroom and it can change and shift the mood and perspective in some pretty significant ways.
I am happy to offer you the first in a series of stand along classes that help you to experience more calm, peace and clarity through the use of simple meditation practices while creating a beautiful piece of art that you would be proud to display or to give as a gift.
We will practice affirmations, experience the benefits of Tibetan bowls and play with color.
