A Zentangle Retreat

Zentangle is an easy-to learn meditative art form; it’s a method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns using ink pen and graphite pencil on art paper. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction, an increased sense of personal well-being and calm centeredness for absolute beginners as well as creative artists – “anything is possible, one stroke at a time.”
