Exploring Creativity Through Mindfulness
Mindfulness and creativity are at the heart of all our art classes at the Creative Cauldron. We offer a variety of opportunities in multiple media to enhance your understanding of and appreciation for the natural world, learn new skills, and enjoy the company of like-minded women. Our classes are developed to help you de-stress, connect with your feelings, and create without judgment. We begin every class with a simple meditation practice—a body scan and breath meditation that focuses your attention on the present moment. The invitation is to create non-judgmentally, allowing us to explore our creativity and embrace how our creative impulses unfold. You are encouraged to notice your breath, thoughts, sensations, emotions, etc, while making art. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or you have no art experience at all, you’re invited to join us and create with compassion. And all our classes and workshops include a yummy homemade treat and herbal tea.
NOTE: mindful art is not art therapy. For professional support, you may want to work with a therapist.
Do you remember when you enjoyed art as a child without judging your ability or results?
Our playful and fun workshops feature a unique array of mindful movement, meditation, writing exercises, drawing prompts, and many exciting painting techniques. All our classes focus on presence, intuitive observation, creative freedom, and unique ways to witness, honor, and incorporate the natural world into your artwork.
Beginners are welcome, and anyone wishing to become creatively "unstuck"” You do not need to be an artist. You do not need to have a desire to become an artist. Our classes and workshops are all about creating for the sake of creating. However, you will go home having learned more about yourself, with a new sense of fun and freedom and feeling more connected to yourself and your body.
Some of our workshops include:
Healing Circles & Mandala Making Using Different Drawing and Painting Tools
Creating Spirit Dolls
Pressed Flower Art: History, Pressing, & Card Making
