The Mindful Drawing Podcast

This session follows a similar rhythm to episode 3 - unhurried, gentle, and guided entirely by voice. Just over 37 minutes of putting the to-do list down and letting your hand do the thinking. If you're finding your way into a regular drawing practice, this is a good one to return to. The more you do this, the easier it becomes to drop in. Pen ready? Let's go.

Another drawing session, and this one gives you a little more time to settle in. At just over 36 minutes, it's a lovely one to save for when you have a proper pocket of time to yourself - an evening wind-down, a quiet weekend morning, or any moment you want to properly switch off. As always, I'll guide you line by line. No rushing, no right or wrong, just your pen moving across the paper at your own pace. Grab your materials and let's draw.

In this episode, we draw together for the first time. This is a gentle, guided drawing session using simple, flowing lines - perfect if you're new to this kind of practice, and just as good if you're coming back for a familiar moment of quiet. All you need is your pen, your paper, and around 30 minutes to yourself. I'll guide you through every mark, one line at a time. Your version will look completely different to mine, and that's exactly how it should be. Find a comfortable spot, take a breath, and let's begin.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Mindful Drawing Podcast. I'm Becky - a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) based in Hertfordshire, UK, and the founder of Ivy's Corner. This podcast is for anyone who wants to slow down, pick up a pen, and find a little calm through drawing. Whether you've never considered yourself creative, you're curious about mindfulness but find traditional meditation tricky, or you're already a Zentangle fan - you're in exactly the right place. In this intro episode, I share a bit about who I am, why I made this podcast, and what makes it a little different. These are audio-only, voice-guided drawing sessions - there's no screen to follow, no copying, and no getting it "right". Just your pen, your paper, and a few quiet minutes for yourself. I also cover what you'll need to get started and how to set up a space that feels good. If you're new here, this is the best place to start - it'll give you a feel for how the sessions work and what to expect from the episodes ahead. All you need is a few minutes and a willingness to begin.
