Through developing a mindfulness approach to creating and sharing art, we can develop better awareness and appreciation of ourselves, others, and our surroundings. Gabby Willmott is a gentle, supportive, and encouraging teacher who facilitates a nurturing, inclusive environment for people to explore, express and reflect. In Gabby’s Art classes, participants learn mindfulness and meditation techniques and playful, explorative, intuitive, and expressive Artmaking techniques. No prior art, meditation, or Mindfulness experience is necessary. All are welcome.
