Art for Relaxation Projects

BELIEF BOX

Create a vessel to hold your beliefs, hopes, desires, and dreams in this artful, virtual workshop. A guided creative exercise will lead you through the process of unearthing your core values and connecting with what is most important to you. Clarify your fundamental beliefs, and organize your thoughts to confront every decision and situation with clear-minded confidence. Your unique box will hold scrolls of beautiful papers describing, through imagery and words, what you hold dear. No art experience is needed.Virtual workshop led by Kristin Heron.

Reflection calendar 

As the end of the year approaches meld creativity with sincere introspection by constructing a “Reflection Calendar.” Assembled from twigs, ribbon, fibers, paper, photographs, and words, these personal calendars will capture your meaningful journey. Through guided questions and prompts we will pause in structured self-reflection for a moment to consider where we’ve been, and rediscover the treasures of the past year. Your artful calendar will serve as a place to capture thoughts, observations, and significant experiences, bringing some closure to the past year and clearing a path for the new year to unfold. 

Dream Rocks

 Learn to capture your dreams on colorful rocks to serve as tiny tokens and reminders of hopeful intention. A wonderful and quick project!

mixed Media Mantras

Learn how to craft a personal mantra to help you feel strong, capable, and at peace when you need it the most. The word mantra originates in Sanskrit and has been translated in English in various ways: a hymn or song of praise, sacred message or text, or counsel. Mantras are often used to silence mental chatter during meditation. Follow guided steps to help you choose meaningful words and inspire you to manifest your personal mantra. After writing a mantra of one word or a short verse, create a beautiful piece of mixed-media artwork, using collage, image transfer techniques, art pens, paint and other embellishments.
