Paint Without (Over)Thinking: Mindful Abstract Exploration
Join meditation instructor Jay Vidyarthi and abstract painting facilitator Jean Jamieson-Hanes for a guided creative session that blends mindfulness with playful art-making. This workshop invites participants to explore abstract painting with joy and freedom, focusing on gesture, texture, and movement rather than outcome or representation. Guided meditations and creative prompts will help you let go of overthinking, embrace joy, and enjoy the freedom of making art without expectation. This workshop encourages collaboration, impermanence, and shared creative expression.
