The Art of Mindfulness

KNMA brings you mindful art workshop for adults to help with stress and frustrations. With people continuously accessing virtual sessions, device addiction is an all too real issue. These lessons are centered on the Waldorf theory which is largely sensory and mindful of emotional and physical needs. It plays on the idea that art must allow for appreciating the process as well as the finished product. The activities themselves are sensory oriented such as painting and clay work, to help center the mind and body and allow for creative expression. Tune in to this series of workshops kicking off on 09 April till 30 April, 2020, and give yourself a chance to relax and reset.
