Making Mindfully
Connecting to self, connecting to others, and connecting to your creativity
Hi, I'm Rhiannon, a qualified counsellor and early childhood educator who loves being creative. Making Mindfully was born from my passion to help individuals tap into their creativity through simple mindfulness exercises and art expression through creative workshops. I believe in the power of the creative process, not just the final product. These mindful art workshops are designed to be accessible, easy to follow - especially beginners, and help you come alive as you explore your unique artistic expression.
What is Mindfulness and what is mindful art?
Mindfulness
Why These Workshops are for You?
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is about drawing your attention to the present moment, focusing on the here and now rather than the past or future. It's about bringing awareness to your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations in the present moment. You can be mindful while sipping a cup of tea, while going for a walk, or enjoying a meal.
Mindful Art
Why These Workshops are for You?
Mindfulness
Mindful art integrates mindfulness practices with the act of creating art. It serves as a meditative practice where the emphasis lies on the creative journey rather than the end result. This approach invites individuals to attentively engage with their feelings, thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, fostering a non-judgmental stance towards the creative process.
