More About Zentangle Detangle Workshop

Mindful Drawing Workshop "Zentangle Detangle"
Led by: Jenna Savago, LPCC, ATR

Take time out of the busy bustle of routine and spend time being mindful and creative. You will learn to create basic zentangle designs and create an image with the technique. Using mindfulness and grounding, you will be guided through this unique creative expression. The aim of this workshop is to teach the basic patterns and allow space for creativity. This 90-minute workshop will provide the tools and instructions to create patterns, and time for the individual creative process.

What is Zentangle?
It is a way of doodling the abstract, often in black and white, to create patterns of lines and shapes. This doodle can increase focus and creativity as it allows the doodler to get into a mindful and meditative state. The individual patterns are small, so you are not tasked with completing a full work of art, which can be daunting at times. The focus of zentangle is to bring awareness into the process of creating.

Using zentangle doodles in this workshop
We will learn the basics of zentangle patterns. This allows the doodler to focus on the process and through the repetition of shapes and designs; enter into a place of peace and calm. From learning the basics of the patterns, it can then be put into an ongoing pattern, mandala, or image of your own. With having the basics understood; the doodler can expand into any line or shape that feels right. The purpose is to release judgement of drawing and enter into a state of mindful doodling. This can relieve stress and tension, reset our systems from worry and overthinking, and teach our bodies to relax. This is an exercise that can be done in short periods of time to reset or take a break.

All supplies included to make zentangle. You are welcome to bring any personal/unique items you would like to incorporate.
