Creative fun with watercolor and gel pens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This practice happened “accidentally” while testing out a homemade watercolor palette I purchased back in 2024.\u00a0 At the time I was researching mandalas and their use in mindful practices, and thus they came together as ONE to be shared with others as a great tool for wellness.<\/p>\n

“Watercolor Mandalas for Mindfulness” has been offered as a Creative Embodiment Event several times now, and it evolves each time.\u00a0 Through the process of moving water (which simulates moving emotions within the body and mind) and the act of repetitive mark making (which removes old programming and patterns by wiring new coding within the neuro network of the brain) offers an opportunity to evolve thought process and action, rather than auto repeat.<\/p>\n

I’ve come to LOVE this practice.\u00a0 It is in my weekly repertoire for energy movement, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing AND creative JOY!!!<\/p>\n

Some things are exactly this simple; adding a creative practice to your routine can be as beneficial as going for a 20-minute walk in nature – or practice them both for added ‘full BE-ing’ benefit.\u00a0 Either way, we are energized, refreshed, and calmed in the process.<\/p>\n

If you are interested, there are a couple spots still available this upcoming Sunday, March 15th from 1 PM – 3pm.\u00a0 Cost is $44 and all supplies are included for creating several watercolor mandalas that you can continue to add to, at home, in the upcoming days\/weeks.<\/p>\n
