Crochet  

I’m a big fan of creative mindfulness. Often it is easier for people to do something creative to give their mind something to focus on.

It also relaxes the brain by getting in the rhythm and by the repetitions.

Being creative can free up space in your mind, so your mind is able to freely associate and come up with new ideas and new insights. I get my best ideas when I crochet!!

My learn to crochet for calmness & relaxation courses are run at the local community education colleges. Although I also tutor on Zoom. So if you have struggled to learn to crochet, or are left-handed, and unable to attend in person classes, this is also an option.

You can register on the Community Colleges websites here:

Zentangle®

The Zentangle® Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. “Zentangle” is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. Learn more at zentangle.com.

It had been on my wish list for years to spread my love for the Zentangle method and in 2020 I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher CZT (CZT36) !

I will be running one day courses and half day workshops in the Wellington area to introduce you to this amazing method that turns everyone into an instant artist by just following the steps. It is super relaxing method, and combines mindfulness with creativity.

I love the No-Mistakes attitude, the stroke-by-stroke approach and the flow that follows from this that will make you forget your worries and the time!!

The one day courses run at the Community Colleges and can be booked privately. Zoom lessons also optional.
