This experience is for you whether you're curious about meditation or have practiced for years. If you use art as a gateway to your inner life, or wish you did. If you've lost touch with creativity and want a low-stakes way back in.

In this two-hour experience, you'll move through a sound bath with crystal singing bowls, gentle breathwork, and guided meditation before picking up a brush: not to make something to keep, but to practice being present while it disappears.

Using water calligraphy mats and guided prompts for inspiration, you’ll paint with pure water on a surface that slowly erases itself. Nothing remains, so there is nothing to judge.

Come experience the rare pleasure and pure state of play that comes from making something for its own sake. You'll leave with your own water calligraphy mat and printed meditation guide to continue the practice at home.

No meditation or artistic experience necessary. All materials provided, just bring a yoga mat and any comfort items like pillows or blankets for the sound portion.
