Drawing For Wellbeing. Starting January 2025
Please add yourself to the waitlist for this course by clicking PRE-ORDER. (You will not be charged). Dates will be released when we have the minimum number necessary to run the course.
You may also want to pre-order the in-person Make Your Own Sketchbook session that is an optional add-on. A great way to meet me, your classmates and set yourself up for the weeks ahead.
Bring the peace of the present moment into everyday, as you learn how you’re wired, why you feel the way you do and how to use your own psychology and your pencil to live to fully and joyfully.
- Do you struggle to switch off?
- Do you find yourself ruminating and overthinking?
- Do you find it hard to prioritise making time for yourself?
- Have you tried meditating or mindful practices but nothing sticks?
- Are you ready to make a change for better balance in your life?
Join me for a 4 week ONLINE course, helping you understand your psychology and how to use a drawing practice to boost your happiness and health. With practical exercises, supported homework and reflection, with a group of like-minded people you can deepen the connection to yourself and experience greater peace.
You don’t need ANY drawing experience or expertise at all! Your pencil is simply your tool to show you what’s going on in your head.
In this course you will:
✔︎ Experience the pure joy of the present moment and how to get there whenever you want
✔︎ Feel the transformative benefits of regular mindful practice, that you integrate into each day
✔︎ Enjoy the support of a like-minded group, where you have daily access to my help and can celebrate your wins every day for 4 weeks
✔︎ See the world through fresh eyes and feel the neurological, emotional and physical benefits of healthier thought patterns
✔︎ Understand what’s going on in your brain and body and how to use this knowledge to make lasting change in your life
I have been a practising artist and teacher for over 20 years. Over this time I have encountered some challenging emotional lows and cycles of burnout. To help myself recover I began to delve into the world of self-help, getting familiar with psychology and many therapies from parts-work to somatic healing and everything in between.
The more I learnt, the more I began to see the parallels between various healing modalities, research into the brain and what observational drawing did for me. I realised the most powerful route to recovery was my drawing practice. And applying all I had learnt to how I approach the page, helped me create a healthier way of living and a practice that was so much easier to maintain than the many meditation and mindful techniques I have tried.
Using my pencil as a portal to the present has been the most effective way for me to stay healthy and lean into the fullness of life. I’d love to share this magic with you too.
This is not a step by step drawing course. It goes far beyond that… you will discover transformative benefits…
Like Anath: “The sessions have really stirred-up some internal 'knots' that I wish to undo over time. The techniques you taught will definitely be something that I cultivate and practice.”
Like Jane: “I felt more relaxed after each session”
Or Erin: “I realised I have a “right” to be and act in the present moment rather than just be productive like my inner-critic was shouting at me. This course has been a delight which has helped me see so much joy.”
Here’s exactly how it’s will work, week by week…
