Anyone Can Create Using The Zentangle Method

From a young age, I have always been drawn to art. I am not an artist and have never before created a project with pen, paper, and color. I was a gem at following directions for a craft and that was it.

Once I retired from my position at the church, there was a mountain of time to fill. I loved art and decided that would be my new journey. I began with watercolor; however, it was soon revealed that my patience wasn’t up to the learning curve. After attempting various mediums, I stumbled across the Zentangle method. From the first line, I was in utter awe and wonder of what I was creating.

The more I played with Zentangle, the more I realized that beneath the sheer joy I was experiencing was a mindfulness journey. My brain was slowing down, noticing my heart. I could feel my heart expanding. I witnessed one line at a time become something extraordinary. I began to see my meditative practice improve exponentially, and everything in my life began to shift. That's when I knew I would become a Certified Zentangle Teacher and take this method to the world. As I was taking the training to be certified, it became apparent to me that children and their families could experience the richness of their relationship through this drawing method.

Although you may not think you are an artist, Zentangle proves time and again that we all have an inner creator who is waiting to come out and play. The first class will prove to you how accessible this art form is and will entice you to learn more. In so doing, each student, regardless of age, will instantly feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
