arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardForget everything you know about meditation. No more sitting still, trying to hush the chatter in your mind. Welcome to Meditation of Art Making—a workshop where the brush becomes your guide and creativity leads you into a meditative flow state like no other.
Guided by Iliana, a seasoned art therapist and creative embodiment practitioner, this workshop is a sensory meditation experience designed for those eager to explore the powerful intersection of art and meditation. It’s the perfect space to dive deep, allowing you to ground yourself, unpack your thoughts, and process emotions through the transformative act of art making.
In this immersive session, you’ll learn how to tap into a meditative flow through the act of creating. Forget about the traditional methods and discover how art can be your path to mindfulness, offering a unique, dynamic way to connect with your inner self. Through guided activities, Iliana will take you on a journey that’s as much about the process as it is about the outcome—helping you experience the calming, clarifying effects of meditative art in real-time.
Whether you’re new to meditation, an experienced artist, or someone just looking to explore a new way to connect with yourself, this workshop offers a powerful tool for grounding and emotional clarity. You’ll leave with not just a piece of art, but a newfound appreciation for the meditative power of creativity and the ability to bring this practise into your daily life.
Step into a space where art meets mindfulness and discover the transformative potential of meditative art making.
