The Mindfulness-Joy Silk-Painting Workshop

"I found DurgaMata to be a very informed and 'current' teacher. I enjoyed it all. She provides practical insights and strategies which support your well-being."

"At the Mindfulness-Joy Workshop, I personally felt peace, calm, and happiness. I did not expect that coming to this workshop, where I thought we would be painting silk scarves, would turn into something much greater and more healing.
I believe it was an incredibly bright and unusual experience for me, my friends, and the other attendees. It felt as if I was transported to a beautiful place of faith and tranquility for a day.
Durga Mata put her entire soul, a large part of herself, and a lot of love into this workshop. No one has ever done something like this for us before. I felt like a part of something big and meaningful."

"I found DurgaMata’s workshop incredibly beneficial and an absolutely beautiful experience. We were gently, eloquently, and professionally guided on how to employ stress-reducing mindfulness strategies and we engaged in several of them.

Mindfulness and Peace
DurgaMata’s very presence is wonderfully peaceful and the atmosphere she created in the workshop is beautifully peaceful also. The mindfulness exercises were very helpful and we had the chance to practise the methods throughout the day.

The entire experience was conducted from a vibration of blissful calm and peace – and allowed us to inhabit the same frequency, and function within this lovely peaceful way of approaching things.

Overall the workshop was extremely helpful and useful, and I can now use the lovely silk scarf I painted as an anchor point to connect back to the lovely peacefulness.

Forest Bathing
In the Forest Bathing section of the workshop, we were invited to make our way through the garden and look for something that particularly caught our eye. If we wished we could draw it, write a description or simply observe. Afterwards, we had a lovely discussion about what we had observed and experienced.

I found the forest bathing to be a lovely experience of connecting with nature and a relaxing, meditative experience.

Silk-Painting
The Silk-Painting part of the workshop was an absolute joy. We were guided through an understanding of colour and the process of painting to create a beautiful, soft, delicate silk-scarf.
I found the colours to choose from to be beautiful and like visual therapy in themselves. The different shades were stunning.
The creation process was interesting and DurgaMata demonstrated two styles – Marble and Dapple – that we could choose from. I liked the way that DurgaMata talked about how we are able to play with the colour and how the silk plays with us.
We were able to choose several colours and decide what type of technique to use. It was lovely to see how the process worked and to put our focus on it in a meditative way. The finished scarves were all beautiful, some vibrant and some poetic works of art. The scarves also gave us a tangible anchor point to take us back to the peacefulness of the day and remember the mindfulness strategies which we had learned – whenever we were to hold and look at the lovely scarf we had painted.
Overall, a wonderful, creative experience."
