Find Your Way to Mindful Art Club in Just 5 Minutes
As the crisp air of autumn sets in and the leaves begin their colourful transformation, it’s the perfect time to immerse yourself in the calming practice of mindful art. Having a go at mindful art during this season offers a unique opportunity to enhance your mental wellbeing. The act of creating art mindfully allows you to focus on the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety while encouraging a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
Autumn, with its vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, is an inspiring backdrop for creativity. As you create mindful art, you may experience a sense of calm, making it an ideal activity for nurturing mental health. The repetitive and rhythmic nature of colouring can be especially soothing, providing a meditative experience that quiets the mind and rejuvenates the spirit.
To help you begin this creative journey, we’re excited to offer a free autumn leaves colouring page. This downloadable resource invites you to explore the colours of the season while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of mindful art. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a beginner, this colouring page is a simple way to embrace the season’s serenity and enhance your mental wellness.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Mindful Art Club YouTube channel—a new space where we’ll share inspiring stories, creative moments, and community highlights.
In our very first video short, co-founder Peggy Melmoth visits The Box Museum in Plymouth and catches up with TV producer and author Matthew Tiller, whose book tells the powerful story of Jack Leslie—a pioneering Black footballer whose legacy is finally being recognised.
Jack Leslie, once denied the chance to play for England because of the colour of his skin, is now being honoured through the amazing work of the Jack Leslie Campaign. Matt Tiller’s book is a heartfelt tribute to a true local legend and a vivid portrait of lower league football in the interwar years.
As a Plymouth-based organisation, this story resonates deeply with us. To help raise awareness in a creative and mindful way, we’ve created a free Jack Leslie colouring page—a relaxing activity for all ages that celebrates this inspirational story.
