The Science Behind Zentangle Mindfulness

The Science Behind Zentangle Mindfulness

I have always found it interesting how small course changes in a person's life can have a profound effect on that person and the people around them. History even shows us that one person’s course change can change the world.

This year, the Zentangle community is celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary since the first class that Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas taught. Their lives and that of their family, have been transformed by the simple act of sharing their passion for mindfulness and drawing.

The 8 steps of Zentangle drawing changed my life

The Zentangle drawing program has been a part of my life since 2013. I had always wanted to learn to draw and I had even made some attempts.

Then I suddenly discovered something called Zentangle and now it has changed how I look at drawing, art in general, and how I respond to life.

Inktober 2022 Review

Inktober 2022 Review

For several years I have been participating in the Inktoker artist challenge. Inktober originated as an “all” art challenge and in 2015 Stephanie Jennifer adapted it for our beloved Zentangle practice.

Following along with prompts throughout the month helps me maintain my drawing skills and facilitates my daily practice. I like to follow the prompts supplied in the handout from 7F5R.com because I don’t need to think about what tangle to draw next. That decision has been made for all who participate.
