What You Will Learn?

  • Mindful living in an adventure! In bringing mindfulness to our everyday activities, our lives become fully integrated, rich with experience and our work becomes our play. Join this class for a journey in doing a DIY project mindfully, through creative shelf design & construction. (The design I'm sharing is for the kitchen, but the principles in the course apply to all shelf designs)..
  • Why take this course?.
  • Mindfulness is a skill that helps one tune into the senses, and fully engage with whatever action is taking place. It's best cultivated in activities (and environments) that we least expect it be possible. What better way to begin than with a fun, creative do-it-yourself project!.
  • In this course, you'll join me in a mindful adventure for the shelf I've designed for my kitchen - through a perfect balance of design principles, technical steps, mindful theory & practice.  The best part is: you have the freedom to build whatever shelf design suits you (or the one I'm sharing in the course)..
  • The common themes connecting the lessons are inspiration, intention, and freedom of creative expression. .
  • I also offer "Mindful Moments" (during the construction phase). In Mindful Moments, I give tips on how to tune in and flow mindfully with your work. These are also great opportunities for self-inquiry and contemplation..
  • What will you learn?.
  • Who is this Mindful DIY course for?.
  • This course is designed for all levels, but in particular - beginners or those with some experience in DIY projects, and mixed media art..
  • The Materials & Tools.
  • The materials and tools may vary depending on the shelf you'd like to design; however, these are in my toolkit for the shelf design shared in this course:.
  • The shelf itself consists of:.
  • (1) 20x80 cm Wooden Board.
  • (2) 1.5 cm screws – to attach to the wooden boards.
  • (2) 3.25 cm screws – to attach to the wall.
  • (2) 90 degree elbows (PLUMBING PART).
  • (2) 10cm long Pipe Joints/Tubes with a 2cm diameter (PLUMBING PART).
  • (4) Stainless Steel Flat Washers.
  • (4) Half-Couplings (PLUMBING PART).
  • LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!.
