Creativity, Art & Mindfulness with Ignacio Lalanne
Sun 1 - Sun 8 Sep 2019
We will be exploring the fundamental concepts of mindfulness through creating art. It does not matter if you don’t consider yourself an artist, or even especially creative. The course is all about process and exploration. You will use art to examine the extraordinary power found in observing and being aware of the present moment.
We will start right where you are. While some activities will be specific to a type of art, mostly you will be able to paint, draw or use whatever is your preferred medium, and at whatever level you find yourself on.
Mindfulness is a therapeutic technique, but also so much more than that. It can release stress and anxiety and spark creativity, but more broadly it will give you a sense of presence in your life.
We will look at how we create art. From gathering inspiration and deciding on the subject matter, to the physical act of putting paint on canvas or charcoal on paper. We will see how expressive art can create a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

About Ignacio Lalanne
Ignacio grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In early adulthood, he had the privilege of travelling and studying in India and south-east Asia. Journeys that accelerated his visual exploration of what is hidden inside all of us. It was also then that his art expanded into meditation and a deeper exploration of spirituality.
Over the years he settled in London, gained a degree in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins, a world-famous arts college and part of University of the Arts London. He intensified his mindfulness practice, went on retreats and started volunteering and trained with Breathworks.
Ignacio is a practising artist and an accredited mindfulness teacher in the UK. You can find his studio in Bow Road, London. He also gives creative mindfulness courses in other venues such as Heatherley School of Fine Art. You can find him online at creativeawareness.art.
