It's like yoga - with a paint brush!
My name's Jordan. I am an abstract painter, and indie-published author. I have always loved yoga. The breathwork and slow movements calm me and bring me back to my centre.
I feel the same way about painting, writing, drawing and journaling. All of these creative activities help me to relax and unwind. They they give me a joyful, restorative buzz.
My Mindful Creativity programmes are where I bring the spirit of yoga and mindful reflection to the art of creativity to create a fun, relaxing and playful experience that can also be very relaxing and restorative. And that can help us bring ourselves back to our centre.
Join me on a relaxing, playful,
6-month creative journey

Explore Mindful Creativity 'Flows'
In each module we explore five different 'flows' that enhance our sense of wellbeing and allow us to deepen into a more relaxed, creative state. The process aims to leave you feeling joyful, calm and nourished!
The Breathwork flow offers the opportunity to slow down, arrive in the moment and give ourselves some 'me time'. Being in nature provides time to restore ourselves - and find inspiration for our creative adventures! Creative Play sees us experimenting with different art-making tools and techniques. The Inner Journey offer a little reflection time. And there's also the opportunity to share your creativity and insights from your inner journey with others!
