Doodle, draw, and cultivate more calm in your life! Join us each week in Doodle Me Calm for a variety of funtastic drawing games and mindful art activities. Each week, your tween will play a fun drawing game, learn what mindfulness is, and cultivate creativity with different mindful drawing exercises. Each artist will also have the chance to share their drawing if they choose at the end of each class during our closing gratitude circle. Doodle Me Calm is a safe space for all learners to embrace their individuality. Our classroom is a warm, welcoming community of mindful artists who want to cultivate more calm + creativity in their lives.
