SUMMARY:Mindful Drawing Group
DESCRIPTION:A weekly practice group focusing on the meditative benefits of drawing and mixed media arts. \nStudies in the Creative Arts Therapies have shown that drawing\, especially when incorporated as part of a regular meditative practice\, can help promote relaxation\, mindful presence\, beneficial “flow” states\, and a sense of well being. \nIn this weekly practice group\, we will learn and share a variety of drawing techniques that are especially good for helping with creating a meditative state. Some areas we have explored\, but are not limited to\, included: \nNeurographic art\nTouch drawing\nBlind contour drawing\n“slow” drawing\nZentangle and Zen Doodling\ndrawing from still life\nReverse water color pages\nadding shading and color to pen and ink drawings \nSessions are facilitated by an experienced artist\, and all necessary tools and materials are provided. You are welcome to bring your own favorite materials as desired. No prior experience is necessary for Mindful Drawing sessions\, just your sense of curiosity and creativity!

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Poetry & Open MIC
DESCRIPTION:Rod Hatter\, resident poet and current host of KXCR 90.7’s Florence Radio Poet Society\, will lead us in a gathering of the poets to celebrate the season\, and our freedom of literary expression.  \nOur quarterly open MIC’s encourage readers to dive deep\, identify and share what is most meaningful and healing in writing\, and in our everyday lives. Starting this month\, we’re also opening the stage up to storytelling\, song and musical performances! \nOpen members of the public; this is a gathering of adults discussing personally relevant themes\, but we don’t have an age restriction. There may be the occasional PG-13 content shared. \nPlease check out our selection of poetry books for sale in the Gallery while you’re here\, and connect with our poets to learn about additional events and offerings.  \nRSVP to let us know you’re coming! Readings will be conducted in an informal “round robin” format\, but it’s good to know how many readers to plan for. You’ll get to share at least 5-10 minutes of your work.
