Taught by professional artist and mindfulness practitioner, Erica Beade, this two-hour online workshop will explore how sketching can be a practice for deepening mindful awareness of our surroundings, and how mindful awareness can enrich our sketching practice by helping us quiet inner voices.

Groups will be limited to 10, allowing ample time for individual feedback. All skill levels are welcome.

What should we do now to work toward that future we want to build? And what factors, both positive and challenging, will help to determine that future?
