Guiding my Seniors with Zentangle

Zentangle and Coffee!

I have been helping to guide the Seniors of 

The Creative Writing Group

at First Colonial Inn

for over two years now

and what a blessing 

they are to me!

I have written about them before!

I was asked to lead them in a Zentangle Workshop

last Thursday evening

and what fun we had together.

I taught them about the history of Zentangle,

how it relaxes the soul,

how it helps us to sort out thoughts

and applied it to our writing practice

by giving them a prompt

"I am a Writer because ..."

Something for them to ponder on

while learning their 

meditative drawing process.

We relaxed and listened to beautiful

flute music

by

Rick Roberts

(one of the creators of Zentangle)

and it was so soothing and relaxing to all of us
We used the Apprentice Tiles and Pens
and they were so delighted to be learning.

It was a most beautiful evening

and I am so proud of the residents

of First Colonial Inn.

They created beautiful works

and were so proud of their accomplishments!

Here are a few captured moments

(They are so used to me and my camera!)

They all left wanting even more!

I love this group beyond measure

they have taught me so much

about living fully every moment.

Their love, their smiles, their friendship

and

their precious written words of life memories

have touched my heart.

I am the grateful one!
Zentangle continues to teach me beautiful lessons.
How blessed I am to have found this art form
and that I get to share it with others.
