Grounding Objects – Art, Psychology, & Meditation

Posted: June 30, 2020

Grounding Objects
Sat. June 8th 1:00-3:00 at Grounded Wellness Center, Hoffman Estates, IL
Workshop is $40.00

Grounding objects are objects that are typically distinguished by their smell, shape, weight, sound, or texture. They are any object that comforts an individual and helps them to remember that they are in the present moment. Often grounding objects are more successful when they are created with intention and purpose.

This workshop will give you the opportunity to try out making three different types of objects. The lavender sachet is distinguished by its smell, soft texture, and light weight. The painted rock is distinguished by its weight, smooth texture, and its uniquely painted image. The mantra card is distinguished by its small size and individualized mantra statement. The workshop will conclude with group sharing, giving you the opportunity to consider what you noticed and liked about each object. An ending meditation will allow you to try using your object for grounding and increased mindfulness. You will walk away with as many of each object as you’d like to create!
