“Art is a vehicle for meditation and self-connection…[it] provides a feeling of flow and freedom [and] helps us become steady and centered.” — The Washington Post (August 25, 2015)
​
After three (long) years, we are resuming our Art in the Moment series of Meditation and Creativity workshops. Each session will begin with a guided meditation with an experienced mindfulness and meditation coach. The art practice that follows is a moving meditation with attention to shape, color and form. In the spirit of a beginners mind, this series will be helpful for beginners and more experienced meditators and artists alike. 
Three Wednesdays this Fall from 6-8:30 pm. October 26th, November 2nd, November 9th and again in Winter of 2023 (January 11th, February 8th, March 8th)
$125 per session, all materials included
