The Drawing as a Meditation workshop invites participants to immerse themselves in the art of observational drawing, cultivating mindfulness through the gentle practice of slow observation. By exploring different drawing techniques with charcoal and finding inspiration in the natural landscape surrounding us, this workshop aims to create a sensory experience that will allow participants to develop a deeper awareness of nature and themselves. Through this exploration of the natural world, the workshop seeks to foster a deeper connection between mind, body, and environment.

Led by multidisciplinary artist Beatriz Guzman Velasquez, participants will engage in the practice of slow looking, honing their observational skills and quieting the chatter of the mind. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult to share in the experience.

We’ll be using responsibly sourced charcoal from PMRCAA.
