Join **Sheyamali** on this online session to further explore and take part in mindfulness techniques and follow up discussions to soothe the mind on a Saturday afternoon. As diverse individuals in a world of various injustices we can take this opportunity to look after ourselves.We will also take part in some short drawing exercises to visualise our mindfulness. Please have on you colour pencils/ pens and paper for this if you can.

By the end of the session, we hope that you will feel relaxed and seen how your work can be a part of something collective.

About **Sheyamali**:
Sheyamali is an interdisciplinary artist, art and wellbeing practitioner, and freelance arts project manager. They grew up in Redbridge and currently reside there.
In their artwork, they use movement, drawing, sound, film, and writing to explore both their connection and dislocation from nature and the land that they are surrounded by. They are interested in how place, specifically the histories and geographies of both rural and urban places, relate and connect diverse groups of people.
Sheyamali has facilitated projects at numerous galleries and mental health organisations in London, including Tate, National Gallery, and the mental health charity Mind.
