Creative Series- Meditate and Create: A Practice in Creative Mindfulness

According to Oxford Languages, mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. As part of the Ijams Creative Series, Ijams is excited to partner with local artist and educator Amelia Gelnett for an interactive mindfulness and meditation event to help participants focus on inner reflection while channeling their creativity.

The workshop will explore and reflect on formative life experiences through creative and constructive prompts. Participants are invited to bring their preferred artistic medium such as pencils, pens, crayons, markers, or other favorite tools. All other supplies will be provided as part of the workshop. You will be guided through a series of questions, activities, and discussion while enjoying nature. 

This workshop will take place on the Ijams back patio; everyone will be socially distanced and will be required to wear masks during this event.
