Meditative Art Journaling Sponsored by Overlake Medical Center
2022-10-20 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | [ONLINE] Overlake Medical Center
Meditative art journaling lets you process the experience of cancer in a carefree and artful way. You can choose to draw, focus on writing and/or use collage materials. You do not need any art or writing experience. Each class will include a short meditation, setting an intention or finding inspiration through a poem, followed by our creative time, free writing, and closing. For those of you who enjoy Writing for the Moment and Open Studio Process, this has elements similar to both. Bring your store bought journal or create your own.

We will practice a number of mind/body awareness practices, including coherence breathing, mantra (repetition of a vibrational sound) and mindful body awareness.
