Busy Hands, Calm Mind:

A Mindful Hand-Lettering Workshop

Saturday, December 7th

1- 3pm

at Dharamsala TC | 869 Robinwood Court 
Traverse City, MI 49686

In the midst of holiday hustle, Busy Hands, Calm Mind invites you to join us for a restorative afternoon where you can slow down, move with intention, and reconnect through creativity and calm.

This unique workshop combines mindful movement and artistic expression as tools to both ground and inspire you. Rebecca will guide us through a gentle yoga practice to release stress and awaken body awareness. Then, Carli, with decades of experience in meditative hand lettering and calligraphy, will lead you through the art of hand lettering—a practice rooted in mindfulness, precision, and the pure joy of creating with your hands.

This workshop is ideal if you’re feeling overwhelmed by holiday demands, need a mental reset, or long to reconnect with a more intentional, grounded version of yourself. Not only will you learn to create beautiful “writing” (the true meaning of calligraphy), but you’ll also discover how this art form can become a calming practice in your life.

Leave this workshop with newfound skills, a beautifully hand-lettered piece, and a sense of inner peace to carry you through the season.
