Why Creative Meditations?
It is my belief that art soothes the soul and meditation teaches us focus and calm. Creative Meditations is all about teaching the creative process through art as meditation. My approach is non-judgmental, encouraging and empowering. I provide a holistic atmosphere in my private studio and in the classroom. Together you and I can light your creative fire. Relax your mind one line at a time.

Your stress is too important to ignore. I serve those who are challenged by life stressors and/or those who want to be the calm that they seek. Traditional meditation, while beneficial, doesn't always work. Drawing meditation, unlike traditional forms of meditation, is a method where I guide you the process one stroke at a time. If you find that stress and anxiety consume your time and your mind, I can teach you a process that harnesses your ability to relax.

There is an artistic self in each of us. Most of us never have an opportunity to discover this part of our being. Drawing meditation brings focus, relaxation,and promotes the ability to concentrate. It brings an enhanced sense of well-being along with a feeling of creative accomplishment.
Even If you've never experienced meditation or believe you can't draw, you can do this! I guide my students through a creative meditation journey in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I use various drawing meditation tools, one of which is known as Zentangle®. The Creative Meditations studio is located in Leeds, New York.

What Students and Friends are Saying
On an autumn evening in September 2020 - amid the chaos of back-to-(virtual)-school, careers and household chores - the Verisk Financial Parnets Network took to some for an hour of peace and fun. We were determined to carve out time for ourselves as an employee ngroup to learn aew skill that sounded wonderful (but was something many of us had never done before or were unsure we could artically handle !
What a great surprise to have Andrea "enter" our homes and present us all with kits - lovingly assembled and pre-mailed. We sat with anticipation of how we would be able to relly do this, without "messing up" or revealing our complete lack of drawing ability.
We were so excited when Andrea showed us, step by step in her soothing manner, that we really could procude beatuirul works of art while not even noticing how our breathing had slowed, our heart rates had settled down, and we were actually relaxing!
A huge thank you to Andrea for opening our corporate hears and minds to the zentangle® method and its myriad possibilities!!
Quote from our Company President after the session:
"Thank you for organizing!!! That was awesome!!! Made my week!"

For all who visit this page, please know that Andi and I were grad school survivors/ride share idea mongers for 2 1/2 years. Our grad training took us to many deep places which neither of us ever left in creative practices and enjoyment. Andi will teach anyone who thinks a thought to find creative interest and transformation. ----Aliceann

You said that if I could draw a straight line I could do drawing mindful meditation. Well, you were right! I don't have to be an artist to do this wonderfully powerful meditation. Since your classes, I have become a daily tangler. I love this! ----Sue

The third time is still a charm. Thanks so much for bringing another Zentangle workshop to Pine Plains. It was much enjoyed by both the young and older participants. I know they'll enjoy continuing their learning experience with the kits that you provide. Wonderful job! ----Janet
