Experience the Zentangle drawing method - calm, creative, mindful

A one off session to experience and learn more about the Zentangle Method of mindful drawing, a global movement to reduce stress and improve focus one pen stroke at a time, whilst creating your unique art creation that you can develop into a hobby for yourself, and use patterns you create for card making, embellishing notes and journaling.

Zentangle® is a research-supported method that actively engages the brain, fostering a state of relaxed focus. Studies have shown that repetitive, structured patterns can:

Reduce stress and anxiety – Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your body's natural calming response)

Boost creativity – Encouraging a flow state, similar to meditation

Enhance cognitive focus - and emotional well-being

Its interesting to note that the Zentangle method drawing is recommended by the PTSD UK charity, the only charity involved with people with post traumatic stress disorder. 

Zentangle Meditation for PTSD

For many people, especially those affected by PTSD or C-PTSD, traditional meditation can pose challenges due to the difficulty of quieting a busy mind or confronting intrusive thoughts. That’s where Zentangle meditation steps in as a perfect solution. Zentangle is a form of art meditation which is used to relax the mind by falling into a state of ‘flow’ by drawing  repetitive patterns, and having no end goal in mind while you draw."

There is a stair lift if you need one, but no lift. Be aware the stairlift takes about six minutes so give yourself the time you need to get to the room.

Zentangle® was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, who founded the company Zentangle.com
