ZENTANGLE LABYRINTH COMBO: Walking a Labyrinth & Then Drawing One
DATE: Saturday, 6/28
TIME: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
FACILITATOR: Sue Trembeth & Pam Jameson
Take a relaxing, transformational journey in this unique, three-hour Zentangle-inspired class with a labyrinth theme. We’ll begin with a peaceful labyrinth walk, led by Pam Jameson, designed to foster self-reflection and mindfulness. Then, step into the studio with Sue Trembeth who will guide you in creating a beautiful labyrinth-inspired piece of art that symbolizes a path of inner wholeness and a pilgrimage toward your center. This experience promises to leave you feeling inspired and focused—an opportunity for personal growth through art and mindfulness.
You won’t want to miss this calming and creatively-enriching combo. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has only one path, leading to the center and back out, with no dead ends or choices. Some people view the labyrinth walk as an experience with three stages: releasing on the way in, receiving in the center, and returning on the way out. This partners well with the 8 Basic Steps of Zentangle, another meditative and stress-reducing practice, that begins with and ends with Gratitude and Appreciation.
Please bring your Zentangle Kit to class if you have one. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the facilitator for $15.00. Please send us an email via CONTACT if you have any questions. Don’t let finances keep you from coming, instead contact us about scholarship availability.
Deadline to register is 6/26. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available. PLEASE NOTE: You must register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building.
