Mindful Drawing with Anna Black

Friday 24 April – Sunday 26 April 2015

Mindful Drawing is an exploration of drawing as meditation and is suitable for all levels.  Inspired by the work of Frederick Franck, author of The Zen of Seeing, the emphasis is on process rather than outcome and as we pay attention we begin to really see.  This fascinating approach stimulates us to observe the beauty of everyday life and capture its essence in simple drawings

There is no specific timetable but we will become steadily more familiar with practising mindfulness; exploring how our attention affects our experience in the context of seeing and drawing. We will also do some more traditional meditation practices.   By the end of the weekend you will feel comfortable with this approach and be able to practice on your own.

Anna Black has been teaching mindfulness since 2006 and is the author of Living in the Moment (Cico Books, 2012) and the forthcoming Living in the Moment @ Work. She is the UK’s only certified and licensed Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain teacher.
