Practicing Presence and Painting

This year, Student Open Circles (SOC) is celebrating 20 years of diversity. Over the past two decades, SOC has brought McMaster students and Hamiltonians together to build our community and foster individual growth.
In line with the theme of our campaign, we are hosting 4 skill-sharing workshops themed “Together in Growing.” Our fourth workshop is “Practicing Presence and Painting” with Marybeth Leis Druery.

Paint your way to presence. Learn acrylic painting techniques integrated with mindfulness. Practice savouring beauty as it emerges while staying in process and letting go of outcomes. Bring a simple printed image to inspire your creation along with canvas/paper, paints, and brushes. In honour of twenty years of celebrating diversity, Student Open Circles invites you to learn this meditative skill in community.
