Crochet for Calm

I'm a big fan of creative mindfulness. For many people, engaging in something creative makes it easier to focus the mind and settle into the present moment.

Crocheting is a wonderful example. The rhythm and repetition help relax the brain, while the act of creating allows space for new ideas and insights to emerge. Personally, I get my best ideas when I crochet!

My Learn to Crochet for Calmness & Relaxation courses run through local community education colleges. I also offer lessons via Zoom, which is ideal if you've struggled to learn crochet before, are left-handed, or can’t attend in-person classes.

Zentangle® Method

The Zentangle® Method is a simple, relaxing, and enjoyable way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Developed by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, it’s designed to promote calm and creativity—and best of all, it’s accessible to everyone. (“Zentangle” is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. Learn more at zentangle.com.)

It had been on my wish list for years to share my love of Zentangle, and in 2020 I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT36)!

I run one-day courses and half-day workshops in the Wellington area to introduce others to this amazing method. It’s a mindful, meditative practice that helps quiet the mind while bringing out your inner artist—step by step. No experience required!

What I love most about Zentangle is the No Mistakes philosophy, the calm that comes from drawing stroke by stroke, and the way time seems to disappear when you're fully in the flow.

Courses are available through Community Colleges or as private sessions. Zoom classes are also an option.
