Zentangle

Zentangle

with Chari-Lynn Reithmeier

What is it ?    It's an intuitive art form...Yoga for your brain©...A creativity exercise...A focusing technique...A relaxation/meditation experience...A rainy day activity for the whole family...Fun for Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.

Anyone can create a Zentangle. If you have never drawn a line, you can pick up the pen and make a beautiful piece the very first time. People who are sure they are not “creative, artistic, or talented” are always delighted and surprised to see what they can create.

Anytime you have a few minutes you can create a small piece of art or enter a state of quiet and focus.  Making a Zentangle is an abstract, yet intentional, process. However, no expectations get in the way of being in the moment with your pen and tile. The finished results are always pleasing.

Anywhere you can find a surface to work on a 3.5 inch paper tile you can start, and likely finish, a Zentangle.  The portability of the materials offers a wonderful way to utilize time spent waiting for appointments or transportation, or embellishing a journal page. It is also a perfect way to transition into the “zone” of focus or flow, or both.

Learn this fabulous new art of drawing that everyone is talking about.  Looks too hard you say?  Chari-Lynn can show you how easily you can do it ....one step at a time.
