Learn about Loving Kindness (Metta) practice and how we can apply this age-old philosophy to our creative and personal lives. Participants will discover resonating Metta phrases and create artwork to support their meaning. Our art-making will be very free-form, abstract if desired, and otherwise more on the relaxed, “doodling” end of the spectrum. Whatever supports a non-judgmental and open mind!
All supplies will be provided (paper, markers, colored pencils, collaging materials). However, if you want to bring any of your own supplies feel free to do so such as, watercolors, mark-making tools and collaging materials.
