Natural Awakenings Naples and Fort Myers

Healing Art Workshops at AHA! A Holistic Approach Center

Recognizing the importance of art in healing the mind and body, AHA! A Holistic Approach Center, in Fort Myers, will host two related workshops. Heart, Hands & Healing Art with Intuitive Vicki Wagoner will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., March 13, and Meg Scott will lead a Zentangle session from 10 a.m. to noon, March 21.

After a meditation, Wagoner will guide participants in the process of painting on a blank canvas to reveal messages that she will discuss with attendees. No brushes or artistic ability are required and paintings can be taken home.

The meditative art form of Zentangle is a fun, easy way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns in a spontaneous sequence, promoting relaxation and inner focus, artistic confidence and creativity. It’s suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Art therapy has a healing effect on many ailments, including depression, anxiety, trauma and illness. Creating art can also access a meditative state of mind, quieting one’s internal chatter and facilitating needed space between our real selves and what life tosses our way.

Costs: $60 for Mar. 13 workshop and $35 for Mar. 21. Location: 15971 McGregor Blvd. For more information or to register, call 239-433-5995 or visit AHolisticApproachCenter.com.
