Each one of these little groups of Zentangle tiles represents someone who came to one of my introductory Zentangle classes in the past two weeks. So many of the students were in awe of how they could learn something new, that not only creates beautiful results – but more importantly provides them with a way to relax. The Zentangle Method gave them a tool to use for focus, relaxation and help to find a quiet place in their minds.
There are so, so many stories to share – one student was traveling to Europe the next day and asked for more supplies to share with her daughter. Many students wanted to share this with the children in their lives who they knew needed a way to be screen free and calm. A student asked me – could I please do another class for several of her friends who need this type of creative inspiration in their lives.
When I learned about Zentangle, I knew immediately that I wanted to learn how to teach and share it – to share it in this imperfect time when people have no quiet moments, when calm is something so unattainable, where we are over taxed, over scheduled and have such little space for a creative outlet.
I am ever so thankful that I listened to that little voice that said “sign up for that. you need to do this.”
