New Facebook Group
Feeling socially isolated? Pop into our new group for a chat with others from Mindful Art Club. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MindfulArtClub/
A Facebook Group is a place for chatting and and sharing ideas. In our new group we can express our thoughts and feelings, discuss issues, post photos, and share related articles or inspiring quotes. We want to keep the topics similar to our ‘real life’ art groups, so please remember our themes of mindfulness, art, mutual support and social connection.
No Art Club This Week
We are taking a week’s break from Mindful Art Club this week, from 17th to 24th May. We will be back on your screens on Monday 25th May!
If you have missed any of our online classes, or want to try some mindfulness and art you can catch up with the recordings on Facebook.
If you are feeling creative Heads Count have invited Mindful Art Club to be part of The Rainbow Connection project. Send your artwork, words or photo to their email. (See image above).
You could also create a COVID-19 Time Capsule with this free printable.
Or draw yourself looking out of the window to be part of our group art project called Windows of the Souls.
And finally, cheer up your neighbours by putting this free printable rainbow poster in your window.
Grab some free, mindful colouring pages when you join our mailing list here: Doodle or Die, Monthly Scribbles.
We look forward to seeing you again at 10am Monday 25th May 2020.

Mental Health Resources
Mental health challenges can range from depression, anxiety, stress, self-harm, and personality disorders, to bereavement, addiction and more. However, there is a surprising amount of support available in the community around Plymouth, where we are based. We have created a list of local resources, offering support, counselling, groups, education, activities, advice and information. While it is not possible to visit most of these organisations during the Covid-19 outbreak, their websites offer information and alternative sources of support.
You can also enjoy social connection, mindfulness and art by watching one of our Facebook live groups during the Corona Virus lockdown.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we could add to our resources page.
