OVERVIEW:

Are you stressed to the max? Do you have trouble relaxing? Are you in need of a little self care? *raises hand timidly* In 2019, I experienced an extremely difficult and dangerous pregnancy. Our little man is here safe and sound, but now I'm living that sleep deprived newborn life. And y'all - I. Am. Worn. Out.

---> I decided it was time to focus on my mental health.

This class is a followup to my previous course, "Creative Self Care: A 5 Day Watercolor Challenge" and builds on the ideas we explored there. This 2.0 version is intended for anyone who feels they could benefit from an added dose of self care. We will be examining the principles of:

1. Mantras

2. Deep Breathing

3. Meditation

4. Relaxation

5. Grounding

The first two exercises are very simple warm up activities intended to give you a foundation for the rest of the class. The remaining sections are painting exercises and are accessible to any level of artist - from beginner to advanced!

We will complete a Class Project during the fifth and final exercise. The details are outlined below!
