Mindfulness is awareness of what is going on around you and what is going on inside of you. The practice is to cultivate space in which you become centered on your breath and allow whatever is arising in the moment to exist without judgment, but rather with acceptance and compassion. Art is a process of self-expression in which you allow the spirit of creativity to move through you, letting go of expectation and being open to whatever result emerges. In this fun 4-hour workshop you will learn tools to bring awareness into all aspects of your life as we combine the fundamentals of a mindfulness practice with the art of Zentangles, an abstract, meditative artform. No worry if you don’t consider yourself an artist; this workshop is about being in the moment and letting creativity and expression move through you. This workshop is taught by Joree Rosenblatt and Alyssa Gangemi. Please bring a snack or light lunch; there will be one 30-minute break.

It has been scientifically proven that gratitude can be the antidote to almost anything negative in our lives. And to live with compassion – to act with empathy and kindness – to those around us, not only is a benevolent way to live, but also creates wellness in our own mind, body and soul. To truly be mindful – to live with awareness – means to cultivate greater gratitude and compassion as a form of practice, a way of being in the world. The holidays are a perfect time of year to reflect on what you are grateful for and the ways in which you can focus on these themes throughout the whole year. This 4-hour workshop covers the fundamentals of a mindfulness practice, with the focus on how to increase daily practice of gratitude and compassion. Please bring a snack or light lunch; there will be one 30-minute break.
