Autumn Art Meditation: Zentangle

Service Description

More than casual doodling, Zentangle® follows a deliberate, research-backed intricate pattern sequencing meditation proven to slow the heart rate, shift brainwaves into a relaxed yet alert state (shown in an EEG study!), reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-efficacy. Participants often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded. We invite you to come to the porch, sip on some tea while overlooking the horses in their pastures. Under Kerstin's guidance, you will learn simple, step-by-step patterns you can use anywhere — a portable form of meditation that requires no special materials beyond a pen and paper. Whether at home, in a waiting room, or during a stressful moment, Zentangle offers an easy way to recenter. This method fosters a “no mistakes” mindset, where every line has a place, even if unexpected — a perspective that often changes how we approach challenges and imperfections in daily life. It also builds creative confidence, as many who believe they “can’t draw” discover they can create something intricate and beautiful in just one session. You’ll leave not only with a completed piece of art, but also with a personal symbol — and a repeatable, materials-light practice — for slowing down, focusing, and creating something meaningful.
