Arts and Minds: Drawing for Mindfulness

Session led by Sheila Ceccarelli (artist) and Yael Pilowsky Bankirer (Psychotherapist)

This was the fifth session at Cambourne Village College as part of the ‘Young People’s Pilot’, coordinated and managed by Arts and Minds, a leading arts and mental health charity in Cambridgeshire.

Back to “Heart-Work” Arts and Wellbeing Project

Introduction by Sheila Ceccarelli

Inspired by full autumn colour and smells, I guided students on drawing exercises designed to explore drawing as a tool for seeing and being in the here and now.

This session was fifty minutes long.
