Come and draw breath at this very special session at WOW led by Tania Kovats and Jane Sassienie.

Come and draw breath at this very special session at WOW led by Tania Kovats and Jane Sassienie. When you pause, take a breath and draw, you are giving time and space to yourself. Breathing and drawing together, even digitally, connects us. It shows us new ways to be together and be present in yourself. These practices both help us communicate, celebrate, be curious, find clarity, and see the beauty of small things. This is an opportunity to take some restorative time for yourself through a simple mindful breathing practice and make an accompanying drawing where the drawing marks your presence.Come as you are. No drawing skill or experience is necessary, and no meditation or mindfulness experience is necessary. (If you have meditation or drawing experience, that’s fine too). Expect to feel present, relaxed and connected afterwards. Bring any pen, biro, or pencil, any piece of paper, your attention and your time, and enjoy Jane and Tania guiding you through the rest. Jane and Tania will lead a 35 minute drawing and breathing workshop, followed by a short conversation between Jane and Tania about the benefits of simple practices, everyday mindfulness, conscious breathing and making drawings without judgement, as practices that offer you resilience and clarity.Jane and Tania both understand these things have the potential to support personal evolution that encourages positive change as they build empathy, intuition and the courage to be yourself. Everyone is welcome! This discussion will take place on Zoom.This is a Drawing Correspondence event at WOW. In 2021, Tania Kovats, Anita Taylor and Chloe Briggs made Drawing Correspondence - a series of Online Programs to connect and empower people through drawing.
