Guided by an instructor, **families are introduced to basic painting techniques through a series of simple, expressive movements. Each movement is linked to an emotion, and each emotion is connected to a color from the color wheel.** Participants are invited to notice how different emotions feel in the body and how these sensations can be translated into color, rhythm, and gesture. Through guided movement, families physically express emotions before bringing them onto the canvas. They explore questions such as: Does this emotion feel soft or strong? Flowing or sharp? Light or heavy? These embodied experiences then inform how paint is applied, using different techniques, textures, and brushstrokes. Rather than focusing on representation, the workshop emphasizes expression, connection, and curiosity. **Children and adults paint side by side, discovering how colors, shapes, and movements can communicate feelings in different ways.** This shared creative process encourages emotional awareness, empathy, and open communication within the family. **At the end of the workshop, everyone will come together in the chill area to enjoy some snacks.** The organizers will provide fruit platters along with a selection of hot and cold soft drinks. We kindly ask parents to bring along their children's favorite snacks to share with everyone. By the end of the workshop, each family leaves with expressive artworks that reflect their emotional exploration, as well as a shared experience that strengthens connection, understanding, and creative confidence.

[Tickets for this event are sold via eventfrog](goog_1310097087) Envision Feelings on Canvas is a guided, embodied workshop that invites participants to reconnect with a personal sense of safety and calm through meditation, gentle movement, and intuitive painting. The experience begins by slowing down. **Through soft breathing techniques, guided meditation, and intuitive movement, participants are gently supported in settling both body and mind into a meditative state**. From here, they are invited to imagine and explore an inner space where they feel grounded, safe, and at ease. This process encourages deep listening to the body and emotions, allowing thoughts, sensations, and feelings to naturally arise without judgment. From this calm, reflective state, **participants translate their inner experience onto canvas. With the guidance of an instructor, they are introduced to simple painting techniques and fundamental concepts of color, shape, and composition.** The focus is not on technical perfection, but on expression and intention, learning how visual elements can communicate emotion, mood, and atmosphere. No prior experience is needed. **You do not need to have painted or meditated before**. The entire process is gently guided step by step, and all necessary materials are provided. Participants are fully supported throughout the workshop. The result is a deeply personal artwork that becomes a visual anchor to this inner safe space. A painting you can return to at any time, using color and form as a reminder of calm, safety, and presence. **Each participant takes home their finished 30 × 40 cm canvas, a tangible reflection of their inner experience.** [Tickets for this event are sold via](goog_1310097087)

— scroll down for English — Der Zürichsee ist ein Ort der Weite, der Spiegelungen und der stillen Bewegung. Bei diesem achtsamen Walk treffen wir uns am Seeufer – ein Raum zwischen Wasser, Beton, Holz und Erinnerung. Wir beobachten das Wasser. Wellen, Lichtreflexe, Strukturen unter der Oberfläche. Wir nehmen uns Zeit für Details: abgeblätterte Farbe, Spuren des Sommers, leere Stege, ruhende Treppen ins Nichts. Die Kombination aus natürlicher Dynamik und stiller Architektur eröffnet spannende Kontraste. **Warum teilnehmen?** Du schärfst deinen Blick für feine Veränderungen und minimale Bewegungen. Wasser wird zur Bühne für Licht und Zeit. Die verlassene Badi bietet grafische Linien, Texturen und Geschichten. Ein idealer Ort, um bewusst zu fotografieren oder kurze Sequenzen zu filmen – reduziert, klar, präsent. **Was dich erwartet:** * **Ankommen & ausrichten:** Mit einer kurzen Einstimmung starten wir in den Walk * **Wasser beobachten:** Spiegelungen, Transparenz und Rhythmus entdecken * **Raum erkunden:** Formen und Strukturen der Badi bewusst wahrnehmen * **Gemeinsamer Abschluss:** Austausch und Reflexion direkt am See Dieser Walk ist eine Einladung, Stille sichtbar zu machen – mit Kamera oder Smartphone. Es geht nicht um perfekte Bilder, sondern um Präsenz und Wahrnehmung. Ich freue mich auf dich. Daniel PS: Dieser Spaziergang ist kostenlos, eine [Donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) zur Deckung der Unkosten ist sehr willkommen. *** **English** Lake Zurich offers space, reflections, and quiet movement. On this mindful walk, we meet at a lakeside lido, a place between water, concrete, wood, and memory. We observe the water: waves, light reflections, subtle structures beneath the surface. We take time for details – peeling paint, traces of summer, empty docks, silent stairs leading into the lake. The contrast between natural movement and still architecture creates powerful visual moments. **Why join?** You refine your perception of subtle change and minimal motion. Water becomes a stage for light and time. The abandoned lido offers strong lines, textures, and stories. An inspiring setting for mindful photography or short video sequences – reduced, clear, present. **What to expect:** * **Arrival & intention:** A short introduction to focus your attention * **Observing water:** Discover reflections, transparency, and rhythm * **Exploring the space:** Experience shapes and structures with awareness * **Closing circle:** Reflection and exchange by the lake This walk invites you to make stillness visible – whether with a camera or smartphone. Looking forward to seeing you, Daniel PS: This walk is free, a [donation](https://tscharner.payrexx.com/pay?tid=861b78d0) to cover expenses is very much appreciated.
