Neurographica and Zen Doodle Workshop

Let's face it folks, it's been a bizarre bunch of years for most of us.  But now it's time to purge all the strangeness, release the quagmire that's been building up and start living again !!  This class will help you to regain your focus, filter out the built up frustrations, fears, anxieties and general malaise and bring you to a peace of mind again !  No guarantees on all that, but it will certainly give you a sweet, guided experience of how to draw these beautiful, exotic, self propelled little masterpieces, and according to psychology, can and will help connect your brain synapses for a healing experience whether you subscribe to it or not.  You'll love every sweet minute of creating these, and they make lovely cards, gifts, or just keep making them and add them to your oeuvre of artistic work.  (I am not an art therapist, and by no means is this workshop meant as a therapeutic session, it is strictly a drawing experience which calls upon your intuition and instincts to direct the marks you make...art therapy sessions begin at $225/hr.  I should be an art therapist !! ).
