Hello Mindful Artists!
The focus for our fifth session is to explore the different and sometimes limiting identities or "boxes" we incorporate to define ourselves through meditation and writing. We will discuss how our creativity greatly benefits when we break through these boxes and allow ourselves to play freely. Check out the sign up form and agenda below. See you there!
AGENDA
It's time to create and meditate! Calling all creative folks, new as well as seasoned, to join us for The Mindful Artist, a free event in Irvine, CA from 6-7 PM every other Wednesday of the month.
Each meeting will vary but generally this is how it flows:
- Intros & intentions (10 minutes)
- Guided opening meditation (15)
- Creative writing prompt: Journals available or bring your own (10)
- Break off into partners and share our work (that day's writing prompt, developed stories, paintings, etc) for feedback (20)
- Closing thoughts (5)
**Don't forget to add this event to your gCal by clicking on the link below the event information.
Join a lively group of writers, yogis and startup founders who come together to let our creativity flow in a welcoming and calm environment. To maintain this environment and ensure open sharing, group size will be limited to 15 members.
We will be meeting at the event space called The Retreat in The Park Apartments located right off I-5 and I-405. Underground garage guest parking is free and plentiful.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: My name is Mini Mukherjee and I'm an OC newbie looking to bring together cool creative folks in the area. I have a background building and working for startups, and now I write uplifting and motivational short stories on my website as well as for entrepreneurship-focused sites. With a Hindu upbringing and a longtime practicing Siddha Yogi, meditating has been a daily practice since I was a child. Most recently, meditation has helped me stay focused and push past a lot of self-doubt as a writer and artist. This made me wonder whether others were dealing with the same challenges. When I couldn't find a group pairing meditation and creative writing in the OC area, I decided to start The Mindful Artist. Feel free to shoot me a note anytime at themindfulartist [at] gmail.com. Hope to see you at our next session!
