I am excited to be sharing this wonderful opportunity to combine this powerful combination of Mindfulness with the making of Art in an exquisite, tranquil setting at The Old Monastery Stroud, NSW https://www.themonasterystroud.org.au/ with my mate Dr Sharn Rocco of www.mindfulworks.com.au - a highly respected and acclaimed national and international Mindfulness facilitator

Sharn will guide you to a space of inner contemplation and I will guide you through various simple mixed media processes to find your inner voice that requires no external validation.
join me for a weekend of Making Art Mindful at the Old Monastery Stroud, 17–19 May

Together we will:

• Explore making art as a form of meditative practice, embracing the power of present moment awareness and cultivating a mindset free from judgment.

• Give yourself the invaluable gift of time –time to rejuvenate, to unleash your creativity, and to reconnect with the inner artist that is all too often neglected or denied.

• Discover how embracing the present moment through the unfiltered lens of your natural sight effortlessly expands time with a sense of ease and grace.

​Here's what's included:

• More than 10 hours of inspiring, supportive instruction and guidance

• All art supplies – All materials required for workshops are included in your retreat fee. PLUS You will leave with the art you make and a personal plein air art pack that will support you to continue making art mindful wherever you are.

• All 6 meals – Breakfast, lunch and dinner served in the Old Monastery dining room

• If you're a lover of good food, you'll be glad you came just for this. Beginning with dinner on Friday and concluding with lunch on Sunday, you will be presented with a selection of simple, nutritious and delicious vegetarian dishes to tempt you and tantalise your tastebuds.

• Accommodation (2 nights) – A room of your own with a view of the garden, writing desk and wardrobe.

• Discounts on all subsequent Mindful Works courses and retreats

Here' s to bringing art and mindfulness to life wherever we are,

Discover your own narrative when it comes to interpreting the landscape - it can be epic, intimate, symbolic or literal, abstract or a combination thereof

This is an intuitive approach but grounded in process with an experimental twist - suitable for those who are happy to take risks and go with the flow
