Hi everyone, you may not know this about me but i’ve been a practicing Buddhist for about 17 years now in the Tibetan tradition. In this tradition the number 108 is very auspicious- thats why there are 108 beads on every full size mala! 😊 So, now that we have reached 108 members in this community I’d like to post this small celebration. May you all have happiness and the causes of happiness. 🥰🙏 Enjoy these pics of my flowering cactus from a few days ago, and feel free to post your own pics of the beauty around you down in the comments! Whatever we focus our attention on grows in our life. ❤️

Are you curious about doing drawing and painting to relax, calm your nervous system, and get in touch with your inner artist? Introducing: "Somatic Drawing and Painting" - a body-based, breath based approach to making lines, brushstrokes, colors, shapes, and textures on paper or canvas. We are more interested in the act of making a drawing than the "final product." Day 1 was all black and white, and I used mainly charcoal. We did sensation mapping, breath mandalas, and bilateral drawing (with both hands at the same time). I was so wonderfully relaxed when we were done! Some of these are wild! Check these out and tell me what you think!

I need your input on which tutorial you'd like to see in the classroom first. Choose one from the list below. And if you'd like a tutorial on something not listed- please let me know in the comments. Thanks everyone.
