Basildon Pride Administrator and Artist Maxine Newell will be delivering a fun Workshop which will help you explore your creativity through mindfulness and drawing. Mindfulness drawing is a practice that focuses on the process of creating art as a form of meditation, helping you centre your thoughts and find calmness through artistic expression. Unlike traditional artmaking, the emphasis is less on the outcome and more on the experience of drawing itself. This practice is beneficial for calming the mind, reducing stress, and enhancing present moment awareness – no drawing skills necessary and all art materials will be supplied.

Workshop Outline

• Introduction to Mindful Drawing, including a short sitting meditation

• Mindful drawing exercises to explore our experience of the body and the breath

• Mindful doodling
