As the holiday season and current political climate bring extra stress and noise, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by packed schedules, family obligations, and societal pressures.
That’s why we want to invite you to a special members-exclusive workshop with pastor and artist Steve Thomason. Especially if you’ve joined us for our FREE four-day Mindful Advent practice, we think you’ll find Mindful Sketching: Connecting Breath and Body as a Spiritual Practice a welcome invitation to continue your practice of slowing down, quieting your mind, and finding peace.
And no, you don’t have to be an artist to participate!
Over the course of 90 minutes, we’ll explore how mindful sketching can help us center ourselves, relieve stress, and create space for reflection. Together, we’ll use simple drawing exercises to engage breath and body, connect with God, and renew our faith. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or new to sketching, this practice offers a gentle pathway to clarity and calm.
Key Takeaways:
- Explore how simply drawing and doodling can be a spiritual practice.
- Learn two methods of mindful sketching (that require no artistic background or expertise!).
- Practice breathing and drawing techniques in real-time while connecting with a reading from Psalms.
- Nurture peace amidst distractions.
- Reflect on ways to incorporate creative practices into faith life.
- Gain a calming outlet to manage stress.
