Guidance from a licensed art therapist
Katie Hall brings clinical training and a private counseling practice in Santa Fe to the session, guiding relaxation and reflective inquiry through a blend of mindfulness and art therapy techniques.
Mindfulness meets hands‑on art-making
The workshop emphasizes calming and focusing the mind through a short demo followed by guided art-making, inviting participants to explore internal experience rather than produce a finished work.
Low-barrier, materials‑flexible format
No prior art experience is required and any art materials on hand will work; recommended supplies include pastels, watercolors, and larger watercolor paper when possible, though small paper is fine too.
