Experience Mindful Drawing using the Zentangle Method

Join us for a one-off introduction session to experience the Zentangle Method of mindful drawing. Just bring yourself, no tools required.

You will be led by a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT).

Suitable for people who think they can't draw, as well as those more creative amongst us, you won't need to bring anything except yourself, as all the tools will provided.

Tickets are £7 for one an a half hours.

Unlike general mindful doodling, Zentangle® is a research-supported method that actively engages the brain, fostering a state of relaxed focus. Studies have shown that repetitive, structured patterns can:

Reduce stress & anxiety – Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your body's natural calming response)

Boost creativity – Encouraging a flow state, similar to meditation

Enhance cognitive focus - and emotional well-being
