Create Your Breathing Space

A Creativity and Mindfulness Workshop

Need some much-needed breathing space this fall?  

During this soothing and supportive 1.5 hour program, I’ll guide you through some of my creativity and mindfulness exercises to cultivate some inner calm. From there you’ll create a personal, pocket-size “breathing room.”

You can think of it as your special, sacred space—just for you—to support and nurture you in the weeks and months ahead.

More about the Workshop 

Breathing space is something our bodies physically require as well as an amazing metaphor for our protected space — to think, feel, breathe, and be — amidst the crowded landscape of stressors we confront daily.

In the workshop, you'll: 

  • Visualize your breathing space

  • Make a pocket-size breathing room

  • Use your senses to deeply immerse yourself in your breathing space, relaxing into yourself

  • Explore creative ways to protect your precious mental-emotional real estate

  • Come away with techniques to identify and thwart some of those pesky, stealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors which pile on stress and anxiety.

How? 

Over the course of the workshop, I will guide you through a progression of easy art-mindfulness mini-projects using these methods to support a creative journey towards breathing room:

  • Doodling

  • Coloring with water

  • Paper arts techniques and

  • Journaling.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Watercolor pencils

  • Watercolor paper

  • A sponge or a wide-ish paint brush (3/4 in or 1 in brush)

  • Scissors

  • Glue stick or glue

  • Q-tips (a big handful, around 25-30)

  • Paper towels

  • Water and 2 cups
