About this Event
Interwoven: Beading for Mindfulness
Special Operations Forces Spouses are invited to join The Station Foundation for an evening beading workshop to practice mindfulness. Art invites us to slow down and be present. It gently captures our attention and offers meditative benefits. The benefits of crafting with beads include improving fine motor skills, visual perception, focus, and concentration. Crafting encourages us to be curious, let go of expectations, explore possibilities, and delight in color and texture.
During this relaxing workshop, participants will make unique beaded bracelets by choosing from an assortment of beads and strands. Crafting a bracelet will serve as a tangible reminder that we can reframe our perspective to enjoy the simplest activity to practice gratefulness. It can also encourage participants to find and create beauty that looks uniquely distinct. While we may feel pressured to DO more, BUY more, and pack our schedule to the max, we have the choice to delight in small, quiet moments to create lasting traditions and be intentional with our time and resources.
“Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing.” ~Jon Kabat-Zinn
