Float and Flow with Christina Darras WEB.png

A meditative watercolour workshop to relax, explore and create.

Discover the intersection of mindfulness and creativity in this immersive session designed to help you quiet the mind and find your "flow" through the fluid beauty of watercolours.

This guided workshop serves as both a gentle introduction to meditation and a practical exploration of watercolour painting. Participants will learn how to use art as a moving meditation, shifting the focus from "perfection" to the calming process of creation.

What You’ll Learn

  • The "Why" of Meditation: Understanding the mental and physical benefits of stillness.
  • Artistic Mindfulness: How to use the unpredictable nature of water and pigment to unwind and de-stress.
  • Watercolour Fundamentals: Basic techniques to get you started, even if you’ve never held a brush.

No prior experience in art or meditation is required. This is a safe, inclusive space for everyone. All materials provided.

About the Facilitator

Christina Darras is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and art educator of Greek origin. Darras studied painting in the Beaux - Arts in Paris and Printmaking at Central Saint Martin's College of Art. She completed a Master of Contemporary Art at the VCA College of the Arts in 2021. Her art practice includes painting, drawing, printmaking, embroidery, knitting, installations, and curatorial projects. Through a tactile practice, she explores issues of identity and non-identity. The bright colours mask melancholy under a deceiving cuteness. She dwells between the real and the unreal, with a belief that poetry is the only truth. She lives and works in Mentone, on Bunurong Country, with great respect to the custodians of the land.
