Drawing Meditation Workshop with Maureen O’Neill

Maureen O’Neill has designed a workshop that offers a variety of exercises to help participants connect and engage with the present moment through guided meditation and breathing, mantra repetition and meditative mark-making (drawing). No art experience is necessary – just a willingness to engage in a workshop that is about process, rather than product – the now, rather than the later – This workshop encourages and supports the strength and wisdom of the intuitive spirit. 

2-hour workshop, $35.00 in advance
