3 days Mindfulness, Environment and Art Workshop.

Planting seeds of mindfulness, ecology, healthy food but also promoting self-confidence through oral and art expression, sharing and teamwork … and always playing and having fun.

We did all this and more in Funny like a monkey, strong like a lion and steady like a frog -
our 3 days Mindfulness, Environment and Art Workshop.

Next workshop in April.  If interested please let me know to reserve a space … limited spots.



















We also enjoyed cooking, smelling, tasting and eating in a mindful way …








What better to finish every day … with some reflections about ecology and a good dose of ART !
… and we did lot, lot of knots !


















Thanks little monkeys for making this possible ... for working hard and breathing deeply !

Funny like a monkey, strong like a lion and steady like a frog.

Ephemeral Composition



Put in a frame  & Composition

Mindful Art Class - Blue Rainbow 3-6y.o

Stretch, breath and calm down and we are ready to start our Art Activity : Kids think in a composition with different objects that they can superimpose on a paper. Since it is an ephemeral artwork they take pictures as a final result.

As a mindful class we are aware of notions as sharing, focusing, breathing, respecting …

kids can stay in silence for few minutes while working on their artworks and can stay steady for meditation at the end of the class …





 Developing imagination and creativity. Kids work on the concept of putting in a frame and composition on paper and on screen (photography).

Learning to put into a frame … pictures are made by the kids:

 The city - Shared project


 A police station - Individual project


A farm - Individual project

Mindful Art Class - Blue Rainbow 3-6y.o
Monday 9:15 - 10:15
Wednesday 4:30 - 5:30 pm

Mindful Art Classes and Yoga Classes


Art and Mindfulness ...


Self-portrait / Mixed-Media – Mindful Art Class – Blue Rainbow

Who said at 4 we are too young for drawing 
a Self-portrait.
Self-portrait / Mixed-Media – Mindful Art Class – Blue Rainbow

The portrait can represent the external appearance of a person but it can also reflect the deep personality and identity of someone. 

Along centuries, artists have represented themselves as a way to express their emotions, feelings, talk about time and their roll in society.




B & S – Dec 2018

During this class Kids reflected on lines, proportions and shapes. Also about those important things that surrounded them … and one of those things was their little girl mate absent that day, so they decided to write her name on their works …
As a Mindful act and a good way to reflect and prepare for the final work, I encourage them to make sketches and preparatory works …

Develop creativity is one of the big aims in my classes, so here kids do the job by themselves, their creations come from their efforts and are accorded to their age and motor capacities …

Art, Mindfulness and Yoga for kids and adults.
