About this Event

Event description

Join us for a calming creative workshop session where breathing and making come together. This session is part of the Creative Reset Club series taking place at Lola Lieven every other Tuesday. It is a hands-on session, where participants will explore simple watercolor techniques and rhythmic painting as gentle ways to slow down, focus, and reconnect with themselves. The workshop combines guided breathing with creative exercises, turning painting into a meditative and playful practice.

We will begin with a short grounding moment and guided breathing exercise. From there, participants will explore watercolor strokes, flow, and pauses, followed by painting patterns inspired by breath rhythm. The focus is not on making “perfect” art, but on enjoying the process, regulating attention, and creating it in a relaxed, non-judgmental space.

No artistic experience is needed. All materials will be provided.
