A 3-week mindfulness and art guided exercise to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself — one gentle mark at a time (no art experience needed!)$37
These guided exercises are a chance to pause. To gently, imperfectly, make your mark at your own pace, so you can reconnect with your calm.
You don’t need to know how to draw. You don’t need to “do it right.”
All you need is a few minutes, something to make marks with, and the willingness to show up — as you are.
Because calm isn’t something you have to chase or fix.
It’s something you can create — one quiet line, one breath, one moment at a time.
Start with one small practice, and see what unfolds.
Length: 3 weeks of guided practices, plus an optional bonus week (for a full month of mindfulness).
Daily Practices: 5 - 10 minutes per day- Short, simple art-based mindfulness prompts.
Weekly Themes: Each week builds on the last, helping you pause, notice, and reconnect at a deeper level. ( 5 exercise day, 1 optional reflection and 1 rest day)
Format: Guided videos each day for you to follow along. PDF files for reflection prompts
Access: All materials are online. You can go at your own pace and revisit practices anytime.
Art Materials Required: one type of coloured art materials ( oil pastel, coloured pencils, markers, crayons etc)
You’ve tried meditation but it feels frustrating, overwhelming, or impossible to stick with.
You often feel restless, anxious, or “stuck in your head” and want a gentler way to slow down.
You’re curious about using creativity to connect with yourself — but you don’t consider yourself “artistic.”
You want simple, doable practices that fit into your daily life (5–15 minutes, no fancy setup).
You’re looking for a supportive, structured way to start building mindfulness habits that feel natural.
Not for developing advanced art skills or techniques.
Not psychotherapy-level depth (since this is a self paced guided exercise, not therapy).
Welcome!
This section will gently walk you through everything you need to begin. You’ll find a short series of videos to help you get settled, including:
What this course is (and isn’t)
A quick overview of how the weeks are structured
A few words on mindfulness, intention, and self-compassion
A note on the inner critic (in case it shows up — it might!)
There’s no rush. Take your time moving through these before you begin the daily exercises.
This course isn’t about doing things perfectly — it’s about building a practice you can return to.
So start slow, get familiar with your space and materials, and I’ll meet you in Week 1.
This week is all about slowing down and setting the tone. You’ll use simple shapes and repetition to help bring your focus into the here and now. Nothing fancy — just gentle, grounding movements to help you ease into the practice.
This week is about connecting with your breath — not to change it, but to notice it. Through soft, repetitive drawing, you’ll explore how your breath can guide your art, and how your art can help you see and stay with your breath a little more comfortably.
This week brings the body in — gently. Through hand tracing, bilateral drawing, and movement from your fingers, hands, arms and shoulders, you’ll explore simple ways to connect with physical sensation. No digging deep, just another way to come back to yourself through movement and touch.

Pearl Lee, Registered Psychotherapist and Art Therapist
Hi there!
I created this course because, honestly, mindfulness was really tough for me. Sitting still and trying to “clear my mind” never quite worked — until I started using art (from my own art practice and art therapist training). Something shifted when I began making simple marks, using my breath and my hands to come back to the moment.
Now, I want to share that with you — a practice that’s gentle, repeatable, and actually feels doable. You don’t have to be an artist or get it perfect. Just show up, as you are.
Creating a little more space just for yourself.
