Mindscapes: Drawing as Meditation

 

 

 

A 2-Hour Guided Practice in Attention, Presence, and Inner Clarity

 

Every week · 6:30–8:30 pm

In person + optional online access

 

 

This is not a traditional drawing class.

 

This is a meditative creative practice.

 

Mindscapes uses drawing as a way to settle attention, regulate the nervous system, and explore the inner landscape of the mind.

 

Rather than focusing on outcomes or technique, we work with the elements of art—line, texture, shape, rhythm, and space—as tools for awareness and expression.

 

No art experience is required.

No pressure to perform.

No finished image is expected.

 

 

What we’re doing

 

Through slow, attentive drawing and breath awareness, we explore how texture, shape language, and repetition affect both perception and mental state.

 

We are not trying to “make art” in the conventional sense.

We are using visual elements as anchors for attention.

 

This allows the mind to discharge excess noise while developing:

 

• Focus and patience

• Sensitivity to subtle sensation

• Emotional release without analysis

• A deeper intuitive relationship with form

 

This practice sits at the intersection of meditation, psychology, and visual language.

 

 

What to expect (2 hours)

 

Each session is gently structured and spacious:

 

• Grounding and orientation

• Guided drawing prompts using line, texture, and shape

• Long-form, uninterrupted drawing time

• Introduction to simple shape language and mark variation

• Optional reflection and discussion

• Space for silence, questions, or integration

 

Each week explores a different theme of attention (stillness, discomfort, flow, release), using different visual elements to support the practice.

 

Sessions may be attended individually or as an ongoing weekly practice.

 

 

What’s included

 

• All drawing materials are provided

• Each attendee receives a copy of the book Mindscapes

 

You don’t need to bring anything—just yourself.

 

 

Who this is for

 

This practice is for you if you:

 

• Want a meditative practice that includes the body and the hands

• Are curious about how visual language affects the mind

• Struggle with traditional seated meditation

• Want to develop focus through creative process

• Are interested in art as a tool for self-regulation and insight

 

This is not about learning to draw realistically.

It is about learning to relate to attention through form.
