Description
Explore Mindfulness Through Playful Art
Explore the fundamental concepts of the ancient practice of Sati, most commonly known as mindfulness. Learn through discussions, guided meditations, mindful movements and creating art.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t consider yourself an artist, or even especially creative. This course is all about process and exploration, rather than the final product and outcome.
We’ll use expressive and playful art to examine the extraordinary power found in observing and being aware of the present moment as it unfolds around us. We’ll practise attending to our immediate experience with kindness and compassion.
Mindfulness is a therapeutic technique, but also so much more than that. It can reduce stress and anxiety, and spark creativity. More broadly, it will give you a sense of presence in your life, enabling you to live your life more deeply and at ease in the midst of what it is.
