Zentangle Patterns of Pause ~
A Visual Prayer Practice to Cultivate Peace
Saturday, March 8, 2025
9:30 am–12:30 pm EST
Cost: $55
In the fullness of everyday life, pausing and noticing what scripture and creation reveal can refresh us. Both are filled with wonderful patterns that can spark delight. When we slow down and notice, we make space to invite peace and calm, encounter the presence of God, and be rejuvenated.
In this class, we’ll enjoy combining the Zentangle Method*, watercolor, and pen to create a visual prayer inspired by a portion of Scripture. We’ll also explore how this visual prayer practice encourages us to cultivate gratitude, awareness, delight, peace, and faith. Other visual prayers are sure to be inspired! (The Scripture passage will be different from our autumn Zentangle workshop.)
Previous art or Zentangle experience is not required, only a willingness to create, one stroke at a time! A brief introduction to Zentangle and all supplies will be provided.
*The Zentangle Method, created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns known as tangles. To learn more, visit www.zentangle.com.
