My First Art Break

I just facilitated my very first art session and I am filled with so much gratitude.

Art Break started with an intention to share the gift of creativity beyond the physical output. I wanted to share how painting helps me be grounded, at peace and centered.

The turnout was overwhelming as I received so much support. And even more fulfilling is the feedback of the participants about their Art Break experience.

Seeing the effects of calm in creativity as they went through the session, reminded me that Art is my purpose. Not just in creating but also with sharing. Creativity is a space, a state of being.

And the act of creating, is in itself allowing the energy of life to flow through.

I remind the participants that we can create beautiful things from nothing (something that is not yet in the physical). From a blank canvas, from an idea, or from a hope. We have the innate capability to make something. And all that we create are our own. There is no one like it. That is how powerful and unique we are.

Art Break means taking a pause, from the grind, the pattern, the wheel. It is creating calm and returning to self. It is a reminder that we are creators. Just as we were beautifully created, we too can create beautiful things.

I intend to do more Art Breaks. Whether on my own, one on one, with a small group or a large gathering. It is my purpose to guide others how to create inner calm and to return to the creative self. And to create more beautiful things.
