How Did Participants Experience Our Zentangle®, Mindfulness Now, and Sound Bath Sessions?

” I’ve throughly enjoyed the Zentangle® workshops given by Ana. She is a kind and patient teacher, guiding everyone through the drawing process at their own pace and really encourages participants to connect to what they are feeling. She brings her own joy at tangling to the workshops, and I’m always excited to see which tangles she has selected and how each participant incorporates them in their art. While tangling, I continue to be amazed at how minor “mistakes” made either disappear when looking at them from a distance or even offer new, creative, opportunities, and Ana’s workshops are a good reminder to employ that perspective in my daily life as well”

“ Thank you Ana, for this cozy session. Loved tangling on the Renaissance paper and tangling of my favorites: ¡Crazy 'N Zeppel!”

“I have already taken a number of sessions with Ana. And she does it great. It gives you energy and at the same time you got relaxed. It is also much fun doing this with other people. I like it so much that I bought some materials to be able to practice Zentangle® at home. Thank you Ana for the inspiration.”

” It has been a very nice experience. I remember seeing the Zentangle® invitation by email. I was genuinely curious especially because I am terrible at drawing but there seemed to be more in there than that. Thanks to your kindness, I finally get to know Zentangle® and I have to say I enjoyed everything of the course. You as teacher, the class and the atmosphere. I felt like a child drawing something and I felt in peace with myself.”

“After following some really relaxing Zentangle® sessions with Ana, I learned about her Sound Bath sessions. Out of curiosity, I booked a sound bath with Ana. The experience was very calming and relaxing, under Ana’s warm and professional guidance! The relaxing effect of the sound bath carried on even after leaving the room! I highly recommend practicing relaxation and mindfulness techniques with Ana! Signed by a physically hindered AuDHD’er”

“With the guidance from Ana I got more in the moment. She gave me tools to practise mindfulness what gives me the relaxation I need to have less distraction from current items and not worry that much about future items..”

For my second anniversary with my girlfriend, I scheduled a Zentangle session with Ana, and it was a really lovely experience! Being a perfectionist and forward-thinking individual, the session initially felt a bit confrontational. With Ana’s help, I was gradually learning to be more open, vulnerable, and present while allowing my body to feel what it needed to. For couples and individuals who find it difficult to be present and are looking for a meaningful experience rather than giving useless objects, I strongly recommend such an experience. I felt more at ease and free because of Ana’s soothing vibes and kindness. Thank you for creating a safe environment and memorable experience! Lots of love"

“Thank you Ana for this inspiring Zentangle® session! you helped me finding my artistic self, which I never thought I had it in me! you’ve probably noticed the smile on my face seeing all these beautiful creations. We all got the same instructions but all tangled tiles are so different by just following our own intuitions! And, it was great experience to feel that – for once – the time did not control my head. I would highly recommend others to join Ana’s sessions.”

“Loved it so much Ana; thanks for bringing Zentangle® into our hectic and busy lives. Especially in this time of stress and anxiety. And thank you Ana for providing these sessions! With your calm and smoothing voice you have guided us into the world of drawing, breathing, creating. Step by step! I really love you for this and I hope you keep on doing this and bring joy to the world.”

“Estoy muy contenta de haber encontrado a Ana y los servicios que presta. Empecé con el Zentangle que es muy relajante y ahora estoy haciendo sesiones de sound bath con sus boles de muchos tamaños y la verdad que estoy sorprendida cómo algo, a primera vista sencillo, hace que te relajes. Gracias Ana por tu tiempo, paciencia y cercanía!!”

“The Zentangle sessions guided by Ana brought the space and time I urgently needed to slow down, focus on myself, have fun, and relax. The program that Ana designed was specially to give an enjoyable break to people who work in highly demanding environments that spend little to no “me time”. The sessions allowed me to have a bodily experience of “slowing down”. This something that I was not used to do. By focusing the attention one stroke at a time, the caring and kindhearted guidance from Ana allowed me to observe my habit of “doing”. Therefore, it created space to slow down, to focus on the lines, the textures, the pen, and to be present. I learned how to feel comfortable with doing things slowly and freely by accepting “mistakes” and adapting to new possibilities. The Zentangle® sessions guided by Ana exposed me to a new way of doing things, a simple and enjoyable way of creating something at my own rhythm. Ana is a very talented Zentangle® teacher that creates a bridge between the technique and the client to allow the client to explore, understand, create, relax, and enjoy. I learned a lot about myself thanks to the wonderful sessions designed by Ana and now Zentangle® is part of my mental health toolkit”
