In this live stream workshop, you will learn mindfulness practices that can benefit your art making and ground you in the present moment. Meg Kaczyk will lead you in simple meditations, followed by art making. Relaxation, presence, acceptance and expansion are liberating and fun outcomes from learning mindfulness basics.

The workshop will begin with introductions, then a short, guided meditation. We will talk about our art making materials, and then Meg will instruct on walking meditation. Students will head out individually for a short walking meditation, coming back to the group for sharing and art making. The session will end with a brief guided metta meditation.

Class size is limited to 5. Please bring your patience while we pilot this format and learn together. You will need to download the free Zoom application (https://zoom.us) prior to the class. A stable internet connection provides the best experience.

Upon registration, you will receive further information from the instructor.

Teaching artist Meg Kaczyk has studied and practiced vipassana meditation for over 20 years, with guidance from Rodney Smith, (now retired) senior teacher of Seattle Insight Meditation Center and IMS, Barre, MA.
