Align+Fleurish: A Mindful Drawing Practice for Nervous System Regulation with author, Heather Desaulniers-Bedard

  • Greene Block + Studios 18 Main Street Waterville, ME, 04901 United States (map)

Workshop Overview

Align+Fleurish is a creative wellness workshop that teaches participants two simple yet powerful continuous line drawing techniques that aid in calming the nervous system and provide moments of peace during stressful times. This practice offers an accessible tool for self-regulation that can be done anywhere, anytime.

The Practice

This workshop centers around a meditative drawing exercise often used in early childhood education to support neural pathway development in children. This method is beneficial for adults as well. Participants learn to create flowing, continuous line drawings that naturally emerge as flower-like forms—irises, lady slippers, and other botanical shapes that bloom from pen to paper without lifting the drawing instrument.

Who This Serves

This workshop is designed for anyone experiencing the pressures of modern life—work stress, future anxiety, or the chronic fight-or-flight response that has become commonplace in our fast-paced culture. No artistic experience is required; the focus is on process, not product.
