Summer Workshops
Relaxing Woodland Meditations
Painting and Drawing workshops held at
Aanahata Yoga & Healing Centre, Castlecomer Discovery Park
The summer workshops begin with a relaxing guided sitting meditation, followed by a meditative forest walk and woodland meditation, where participants rest in stillness and become fully connected with nature. Guidance is offered so that awareness can be opened to the experience of the peace and tranquility of the park, the symphony of sounds, and the beauty that was is around.
Lunchtime meditative painting demonstration will be given by Gill, together with talks and exercises in letting creative energy flow freely without hindrances and judgement.
The afternoons continues in the woodland setting with painting and drawing, where participants step back and fully perceived the nature of things that surround them, in glorious detail, letting inspiration come forth naturally, without thought, hesitation or fear.
The workshops are designed for anyone wishing to explore and develop their own personal journey, to open up their awareness of nature and set free their creative energy.
