Meditative Painting

Slow down and push paint around. Relax and regulate. We meditate, then align the breath with our paint strokes, and finish with stencils. Slow down and push paint around. This workshop begins with a soothing guided meditation to quiet the mind and center the body, then flows gently into painting with presence and ease. Instead of striving for a finished product, you’ll explore the pure joy of moving paint across the canvas while painting in a way that feels good to your body and allows your mind to rest fully. As you paint with awareness, stress begins to dissolve, giving way to a sense of calm, freedom, and creative flow. Each brushstroke aligns with the breath, each color a reflection of inner stillness. Guided by Shelley Irish, art teacher, therapeutic arts coach, and certified mediation teacher, you’ll be supported in using imagination as a tool for personal liberation. Whether you’re brand new to painting or a seasoned artist, this unique self-care experience offers you a chance to reconnect with yourself, release tension, and nourish your spirit through art. Supplies are Included! Class Location: 4316 SW Othello St. 2nd floor Seattle, WA 98136
