What is Mindful Creativity?
Mindful creativity uses the power of the arts to unlock creativity, promote mindfulness, and enhance overall well-being. I believe in the transformative power that creating art with intention and awareness can have on both teachers and their students. Mindful creativity emphasizes the creative process more than the finished artistic product to encourage you and your students to tap into creative imagination and be in the present moment without judgment.
The Mindful Studio:
Cultivating Creativity and Well-Being in the Classroom
Our workshops are perfect for those seeking professional development opportunities that foster creativity, mindfulness, and artistic expression. In a safe and encouraging environment educators can explore their creativity, while learning new techniques to bring back to their classrooms. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, mindfulness based art workshops are a great way to foster your creativity and develop a deeper connection with your students.
In-Person Workshops
In-person workshops offer an immersive, hands-on creative experience, combining mindfulness principles with expressive arts. Participants will learn practical and creative techniques to discover calm and balance to support the development of a more creative mindset. Through a combination of guided meditations and artistic expression, our workshops provide an opportunity to explore the power of mindful creativity and tools for integrating creative mindfulness into your classroom curriculum with confidence.
Virtual Webinars & Workshops
Online professional workshops are specifically designed to help teachers develop their skills and discover new ways of teaching mindfulness and expressive art practices to their students. Our goal is to provide educators with the tools they need to be successful in the classroom. All workshops are tailored to meet the specific needs of each school district, giving teachers the right tools and techniques to foster creative growth in their students and promote well-being.
