Relaxation and Meditation through Art

Art meditation sessions are a wonderful opportunity to have a break from the routine, switch into the creative state and relax

There are many ways to destress, unwind and calm a busy mind. Some may choose a fidget toy and engage their hands to calm their stress. Why not relax through engaging your hands in making art work instead?

Have some time for yourself, enjoy lines and colors, let your mind wander to bring you insights.

No drawing experience required.
