Participants will learn about mindful doodling for stress reduction in this one-hour workshop and engage with art materials using four different portable methods of mindfulness-informed doodling that do not require planning, specific materials, or large amounts of time to set aside to practice. Material suggestions for virtual participants: ANYTHING! Literally, you can’t mess this up… The beauty of the doodle.
