The Experience: a fusion of MINDFULNESS and ART

Discover the grounding synergy of meditation and art in this unique collaborative workshop hosted by:
Soonhwa Kang (Hanato Atelier) and Vanessa Kossin (Smiling Minds Club)
Be the Tree invites both beginners and advanced practitioners to slow down, connect with the present moment, and express their inner landscape through traditional ink painting.

What to Expect From This Mindful Art Course

We begin by cultivating calm and focus through guided mindfulness practices—clearing the mind to let creative energy flow freely. Moving from stillness into motion, you'll learn to channel that presence into the brush, using meditative ink strokes to bring the form of a tree to life on paper.

  • No prior experience in art, brush lettering, or meditation is required—just an open heart and a willingness to explore.

  • All artistic levels welcome: Perfect for anyone looking for a creative outlet or a stress-relief workshop in North Holland.

Come root yourself in mindfulness, and let your creativity branch out.
