ART + Mindfulness Workshops

Connect. Create. Meditate.

Come and find your creative tribe.

Do something different on a Friday night. It will be a sober night to remember!

Learn the art of mindfulness while creating your own mandala drawing. Melissa will lead you through a meditation, and teach you how focusing on the moment, calming your mind, relaxing and enjoying yourself allows inspiration to flow. You will be shown how exploring mindfulness switches on the brain and unleashes your creative power! You will learn drawing techniques to find your own style, and learn the art of drawing mandalas, while staying mindful. 

During the workshop, we will be hands on, using practical ways to be more creative and learning about creative mindfulness. This workshop is not for artists - it is aimed at anyone who wants more creativity in their life.

Served with warm cacao chocolate drinks, herbal teas, cheese and fruit platters.

TESTIMONIAL from Amelia:
"Melissa’s intuitive painting art workshop was an incredible experience. This 
inspiring space really encouraged me, both to let go and be bold, as I moved through the fear of not painting beautiful enough. It helped me welcome joyful and spontaneous expression. I learned a variety of techniques, worked with vibrant colours and tools. Kept the momentum by moving the body to music, and last but not least, connected more deeply to my feelings and left feeling inspired!"
