No experience needed. Adults only - Ages 18+ Minimum of 4 participants DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 2026! Create Peace: Paint & Meditate Begin the new year with a ritual of release and renewal. In this immersive workshop, you’ll explore the quiet, contemplative world of water calligraphy mats, where each brushstroke slowly disappears as the water dries. This ephemeral art form captures the essence of letting go: every mark exists only for a moment before dissolving into blankness again, inviting you to relax more fully into presence. We’ll incorporate gentle breathwork with stress-free, intuitive painting. End the session with a guided meditation focused on release and entering the year with clarity, set to the calming tones of crystal singing bowls. This is a practice with no pressure, no perfection, and no wrong moves: just you and a surface that forgives everything. Perfect for those easing into creativity for the first time or seeking a contemplative reset, this session offers a deeply restorative experience through the power of self-expression. Who Is This For? • Seasoned artists seeking to reconnect with the joy of process • Curious beginners who don’t consider themselves “creative” • Anyone ready to start the new year with intention and gentle release • People craving a couple of hours of peace, relaxation, and reset • Anyone drawn to meditation, sound baths, or mindful making What Will I Take Home? You’ll take home your water calligraphy mat, allowing you to continue this meditative practice at home whenever you need grounding or a moment of quiet.
