Whimsical Marks- Guided Mindful Art Sessions
These 2 hour sessions will take you through art techniques to soothe the mind and destress you after a long day. The techniques will be easy enough that you can use them at home or during your lunch break at work, whenever you need a few moments to relax.
In this hectic world of work & school stress, exam stress, home stress and lack of connection; many of us go through bouts of poor mental health and anxieties due to the daily stressors of life.
Using art as a therapeutic and cathartic outlet can be very helpful. It can be a mindful activity that focuses the brain on positive expression, boosting dopamine (a happy hormone) and improving motivation.
Guided sessions provide an escape from these daily stressors through expression (another way to communicate when words just aren’t cutting it!); through focusing on one task and putting everything else to the back of the mind; by being present in the moment (controlling the now when you have no say over the past and worry about the future).
Mindful Whims- mark making to take your mind off of everything else, helps get you into a meditative state where you are focused on moving your pens or paintbrushes and gets you into a soothing creative zone. You get lost in a no pressure process that gives you perfect opportunities for reflection.
These sessions are not a replacement for seeking help. If you need to speak with someone reach out. If you can’t speak to friends or family, try your GP or a charity such as Mind, Samaritans, Papyrus.
