Coffee and art therapy for relaxation [Eng-Esp]

On the last weekend of February, my family and I went to the mountains of Táchira state for a few days of rest. I confess that I needed these days of rest after losing my steady job, my business venture is going very slowly, and my investments in cryptocurrencies are on the line.

I needed to relax and, to be honest, I also needed to get out of the comfort zone of my workshop, where I have all the materials I love to work with, and dare to try something new.

Mandalas and coffee night, that's what they called this wonderful activity at the beautiful inn hidden in the mountains. I loved the dynamic. It consisted of choosing a mandala drawing and letting your imagination run wild to color it in while listening to good music and enjoying a coffee.

They had lots of colored pencils, markers, watercolors, and oil paints. I, of course, got lost among the markers.

At one point, I was left alone with my coffee. It was intense, but I thought it was just what I needed to face all the challenges I've had in the first few months of this year.

I had a great time. As I progressed with my mandala, I was left alone in the workspace, which gave me the chance to order a cappuccino and enjoy its caramel flavor and frothy cream.

I had a great time doing this activity. I didn't expect to have such a fun and relaxing evening. I brought home some tips from this entertaining art therapy session to replicate in my workshop. It was fantastic to once again combine my passion for improvised art and coffee.

I hope you feel inspired to try this coffee and art therapy. Thank you for joining me in my experience. See you next time. Bye!
