Mindfulness with Paintings Workshop
Mindfulness with Paintings Workshop aims to help people discover the joy of art through slow and mindful looking.
Why do we need to be mindful?
We can only truly appreciate something when we spend time with it slowly and mindfully.
It is not just about being physically there for hours. It is about being really there mentally too, not having a thousand and one other thoughts at the same time.
When we are mindful and we spend time, for something or someone, we maximise the experience for ourselves, realizing the best of what could have been.
And the person whom we have mindfully spent time with, will never forget the experience too, making it a win-win for everyone.
Mindfulness with Paintings aims to help us to learn how to spend time mindfully with paintings, so that we can realize the benefits of art and mindfulness.
And hopefully, we can also extend this learning to other aspects of our lives, especially when we are with our loved ones.
What is Mindfulness with Paintings?
Mindfulness with Paintings is a 1.5hour session incorporating mindfulness techniques with art appreciation:
(A) Concept
Introduce mindfulness and basic mindfulness techniques.
Note: this is not a full pledged mindfulness course and there is no meditation.
(B) Practice
Look at selected paintings slowly and mindfully (at least 1 minute for each painting!).
(C) Discussion
Reflect upon the experience and realize how different paintings (and for the matter, life in general) feel, when we are mindful and when we take our time to slowly savour.
