Mindful Drawing workshop in collaboration with Sefton Social Prescribing team.
A class that combines the practice of drawing with mindfulness techniques like focusing on the present moment and paying attention with non-judgment. It's about using drawing as a way to reduce stress, enhance creativity, and cultivate self-awareness. The goal is not necessarily to create a masterpiece, but rather to experience the process of drawing with intention and presence. If you, or someone you know feel you may benefit from attending an 8 week course of fully funded Mindful Drawing workshops, please contact us to discuss.
