Inspired by We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art, this workshop invites participants to explore color and form through the meditative practice of intuitive embroidery.
Join art therapist Nadia Paredes for a grounding experience and space to slow down, fostering mindfulness, creativity, and resilience. Embroidering requires patience, allowing participants to reflect on the colors they choose within their lives and the impact they bring to themselves, their communities, and the society around them. In a world driven by urgency and binary thinking, this practice serves as a grounding technique, fostering mindfulness, creativity and a resilient mindset.
No prior embroidery experience is necessary; the emphasis is on process and personal exploration. Supplies provided. This program is co-presented with Arts & Healing Initiative.
