SUMMARY:Winter Zentangle (Online Program)
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Becky Boynton back to the Well this Winter as she returns for another offering of Zentangle®! Becky\, a Certified Zentangle Teacher\, is excited to guide others in learning this step-by-step method that can expand your sense of being creative and positively contribute to your overall experience of well-being. You are invited and encouraged to participate in this upcoming program whether you have never “tangled” before or if you have prior experience with Zentangle. \nThe Zentangle® Method is a simple\, relaxing\, fun way to create beautiful abstract designs by drawing structured patterns. Participants only need paper\, pencil\, a black fine line pen and some Q-Tips or other blending tool. No previous skills or experience are needed; just a willingness to put pen to paper. \nWhile the process may look intricate\, it is a deceptively simple pathway to improve your well-being. In addition to verbal instructions\, you will receive handouts before class that will assist you in following Becky’s live video demonstrations. \nThe benefits of Zentangle are numerous and include increased confidence\, relaxation\, and inspiration. This practice also enhances focus\, heightens mindfulness\, and fosters a deeper sense of meaningfulness on a spiritual level. Beginners are often quite surprised and pleased at what they create. “Anything is possible one stroke at a time.” That is the Zentangle tag line. \nWhile the final drawing in each of the three classes will be quite different\, Becky will use the Zentangle method and patterns for all of the work. The paper/tile shape will be rectangular for class one\, square for class two\, and round for class three. \nEach of the sessions can stand alone\, so participation in all three is not necessary. Additionally\, the sessions will be recorded. If you register and are unable to attend the live class\, you can follow along on the video recording that will be sent to all who register. \nDATES & TIMES:\n· Tuesday\, February 18 • 6:30-8:30 PM ET\n· Wednesday\, February 26 • 10:00 AM-Noon ET\n· Sunday\, March 2nd • 3-5 PM ET \nCOST: $25 per session or $60 for all three sessions \nLOCATION: ZOOM \nREGISTRATION is required; please register here. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: Please read our cancellation policy\, here. \nIMPORTANT: You will receive an email from programming@wellforthejourney.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of your program. If you are unable to find the email\, please check your SPAM or JUNK email folders. This email will include details to help you prepare for your program including any pertinent handouts\, location information\, and the ZOOM link for online programs. Please be sure you have received and read this email a minimum of 24 hours in advance of the start of the program. Thank you! \nFACILITATOR: Becky Boynton \nFACILITATOR BIO: \nBecky Boynton taught elementary school for 27 years in Virginia and Maryland\, in both public and private schools. Most recently she served as the Service-Learning Coordinator at the Friends School of Baltimore. A longtime volunteer at a food pantry and financial assistance center in Baltimore\, she now volunteers teaching Zentangle® on Zoom. She was first introduced to Zentangle in 2012 and has been tangling ever since. In 2018 she became a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) by attending the four-day training program in Providence\, RI. She has been teaching Zentangle® since 2018. \nBefore Zentangle® she considered herself a crafter\, not an artist. Zentangle® has changed that. This step-by-step method is easy to learn\, relaxing and a fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It increases focus and creativity. She enjoys bringing this technique to those who do not see themselves as capable of creating art. She is now a firm believer that\, as the creators of Zentangle® say\, “Anything is possible\, one stroke at a time. ™” \nBecky returns to The Well having taught in person and Zoom Zentangle classes for us since 2020.
