Chelsea’s Challenge: A Creative Excursion with Rita Patel
This month we are thrilled to have Rita Patel taking the helm of Chelsea’s Challenge by sharing her fabulous Creative Excursion exercise! If you missed her presentation, please check it out here–it’s super inspiring and will walk you through the steps needed to get started with this challenge–picking a piece of art and an “evocative word” or quality that you want to cultivate.
As with all Chelsea’s Challenges, you will end up with a completed pattern collection, but I think you will also find this practice to be a therapeutic way to spend the month and a boost for your mental health as well, especially during these trying times. It’s a practice that can be revisited time and time again and I love that it blends art and design with mindfulness and a focus on wellbeing.
Learn how to get involved here.
