Anyone can draw through Guided Art Meditation!
Our hope is that you will come out of this experience feeling relaxed and empowered. Meditative art through the Zentangle® method founded by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas is based on the the idea that "Anything is possible one stroke at a time". Each participant is guided through an hour and a half of repetitive pen strokes and patterns in a space clear of judgement, filled with positive affirmation, and gratitude. The result is a sense of calm, focus, and a beautiful piece of art!

Joyce Vives is the skilled trainer, facilitator and driver behind an amazing technique the provides total relaxation for 90 munutes by drawing out a person's creative skills effortlessly in a supportive environment. It involves getting centered, relaxed and then letting Joyce guide you through a drawing exercise that will leave even the most cumbersome painter feeling peaceful, happy, creative and supported. I have done it three times and walked away each time feeling stress free, renewed and energetic.
What I love about Zentangle is that it turns mindless doodling into a mindful meditation. By allowing myself to be led through the process, I was able to let go of expectation and let the design reveal itself to me. Joyce is a wonderful teacher, always prepared and organized. With her calming voice and open heart, she leads each of us to create art that is beautiful in its individuality
It has been a long time since I worked on an art piece. I think I had lost the motivation to keep going. It started becoming an activity to tick off in my daily timetable rather than an activity I engaged in to unwind and relax. People asked me why I stopped, and when I'll be getting back to my artwork. I said "I don't know" because I really didn't. I just knew that I had to wait as long as it took me to start treating art.as a means for relaxation again, rather than my next project deliverable. Seldom did I know that my comeback was going to be a Zentangle piece that I created in a mindfulness session organized by Urban Angels SF (@urbanangelssf), under the guidance of @joicevives
It was my first attempt at Zentangle and I absolutely love this piece. And like Joyce told us, the only thing you need to know to create this is know how to draw a line!
