I will start running my popular Mindfulness Through Art course here at Torre Las Marias in the Spring of 2024.

We will explore together the fundamental concepts of the ancient practice of Sati, most commonly known as mindfulness, through discussions, guided meditations, mindful movements, and creating art.

It does not matter if you don’t consider yourself an artist or even especially creative. The course is all about process and exploration rather than the final product and outcome.

Our beautiful home is located under the cliffs of Ronda. A must-see town in Andalucia, Spain.

We will use expressive and playful art to examine the extraordinary power found in observing and being aware of the present moment as it unfolds around us. We will practice attending to our immediate experience with kindness and compassion.

Mindfulness is a therapeutic technique, but also so much more than that. It can reduce stress and anxiety and spark creativity, but more broadly, it will give you a sense of presence in your life, enabling you to live your life more deeply and at ease in the midst of what it is.

You will learn foundational skills of mindful-living: 

  • root yourself in the present moment through guided meditations & body movements based in Qi-gong

  • how working with breath and body awareness can transform stress and anxiety 

  • how to cope better with challenging thoughts and emotions 

  • greater concentration and focus

  • art practice as a path to mindfulness 

Here is a vide showing some of the Qi-gong movements I work with.
