Creative Mindfulness With Art

Creative Mindfulness with Art sessions give you an opportunity to reduce stress through art making and conversation in a judgment free atmosphere. All you need to participate is paper and a pencil – no prior art skills are required, just a willingness to try. All Creative Mindfulness with Art sessions are offered virtually and are free of charge. Classes are intended for adults. Adults who wish to have their children attend with them is fine, but please note some topics discussed may not be deemed appropriate for younger children; please use your own judgement.
