Mindful Art & Donkeys
This is my signature workshop, a delicious blend of donkey connection, expressive art-making and deep appreciation for the surrounding forest, wetlands and wildlife. All three can guide us towards physical and emotional health and well-being as well as help us to generate compassion, empathy and curiosity. All three can help us to deepen our understanding of body language and non-verbal communication, engage with our senses and become more fully attuned.
These gently guided sessions takes place in my cozy art studio and outside in the woods and donkey paddocks. Tea, snacks and art materials are all part of the package.
Working with short, playful and immensely accessible expressive art-making is a wonderful creative approach to mindfulness. We connect this with experiential time with the donkeys – a deep sensory experience that explores partnership, nervous system regulation, non-verbal communication, body language as well as some grooming and leading sessions if desired. You’ll learn about these unique individuals and how we have come to form such a strong and trusting bond.
The act of making is engaging, absorbing and has relevance in everything we do. It can take us out of our heads and into our hearts and imagination. Best of all, you don’t need any prior experience! I’ll introduce you to easy ideas that can become part of short daily self-care. Creative, focused and intentional – the results can be surprising, delightful, self-affirming.
