Anything is possible… one stroke at a time.™

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.  It is simple to understand and easy to enjoy – even if you are convinced you are not an artist.  Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being. 

When you create in a Zentangle way, you create a beautiful piece of art. It is an easy to understand process of simple deliberate strokes which build on each other in beautiful, mesmerizing and surprising ways.  You also can deliberately create a mood, a focus, a state of mind.

 

At first glance, a Zentangle creation can seem intricate and complicated. But, when you learn how it is done, you realize how simple it is . . . sort of like learning the secret behind a magic trick. Then, when you create a piece of Zentangle art, you realize how fun and engrossing the process itself is.

 

The Zentangle Method's non-verbal language of patterns and proportions can open doors to insights which seemed locked before. Creating in a Zentangle way opens those doors, not because they were locked, but because those doors swing on non-verbal hinges. When you create in a Zentangle way you can enter a state of relaxed focus in which intuitive insights flow freely. Get inspirations, ideas and answers unhindered by expectations or worries.

 

Zentangle is reported to produce all the positive benefits of mindfulness in addition to...

• Sparking creativity

• Increased focus

• Relaxation without sleepiness or feeling zoned out

• Increase self-esteem and confidence through the accomplished result

• It is more fun and easier than sitting on a pillow and meditating

 

I love presenting to a class or seminar full of people who are convinced they can't draw the Zentangle art I show them. Then, within 15 minutes, they have easily accomplished what they thought was impossible. This is one of my favorite Zentangle moments, because then I can ask, "What else do you know that you can't do?" You can transfer that insight and experience of success and accomplishment to any life experience. Something may look complicated, but you now know that you can do it, one simple stroke at a time.

 

Life is an art form and the Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.  Please join me for a an inspirational evening of meditative, creative artistry.
