Intuitive Art & Mindfulness at Pendle Hill (four-day workshop)
Adult Summer Workshop | Available
This class merges meditative practices with intuitive art-making to foster mindfulness, self-discovery, and well-being. Through guided drawing exercises, meditation, breath work, intention setting, and body movement activities, participants will explore methods influenced by various meditative traditions. You'll learn to tap into your innate creativity, trust the intuitive art-making process, and release preconceived ideas about art. This experience encourages deep self-exploration, relaxation, and personal growth, all within a supportive space rooted in empathic understanding, congruency, and unconditional positive regard. No prior experience is necessary—just an open heart and mind.
This class is taking place at Pendle Hill. Pendle Hill is a Quaker study, retreat, and conference center welcoming all for Spirit-led learning and community. Pendle Hill is located at 338 Plush Mill Rd. Wallingford, PA 19086-6023.
