About the Session

Art is known to calm our minds and help channel our energies into something beautiful. Mindful doodling is a creative exercise that enables us to live in the moment. In this interactive and do-it-along session, our Knowledge Contributor – Dharani Mahalingam will help you explore the different doodle exercises that draw on emotions, thoughts, hopes and sensory awareness. Combining the benefits of mindfulness and the intuitive expression of doodling, the session will help you relax, find focus, and creatively express your emotions through this spontaneous art making. As a result of this session, you will be able to explore your inner self and understand yourself better.
