The Copper Beech Institute will offer a weekend retreat, “Where Art Meets Meditation: Zentangle Retreat“ March 24-26, 2017. A variety of workshops will be offered throughout the weekend for both newcomers to Zentangle and those with experience.
Zentangle is a fun and rewarding way to create beautiful images using simple repeating patterns. It also naturally lulls the mind into a meditative state that is both relaxed and focused. One does not need to be an artist or know how to meditate in order to reap the benefits of this unique art form.
The retreat will be led by Certified Zentangle Teachers Meredith Yuhas, Ph.D., Beth Malley and Janet Valencis. When she’s not teaching Zentangle, Ms. Yuhas is director of the Counseling and Wellness Center at University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, CT. Ms. Malley and Ms. Valencis both teach Zentangle in the greater Hartford area.
The Zentangle Retreat includes optional yoga classes and mindfulness meditation practice sessions as well as a Saturday Night on Retreat performance with musicians Marcie and Gordon Swift. Healing arts therapies, including massage and reflexology, are also available for an additional charge.
