WEEK 1: FINDING OUR FLOW STATE
In week one we will be learning monoline calligraphy to switch on our state of flow and begin our reflective journey.
We will create beautiful fluid monoline calligraphy finishing with a postcard to ourselves.
WEEK 2: GRATITUDE & ABUNDANCE MINDSET
In the second week we will be learning brush pen calligraphy to enhance our sense of gratitude and inviting abundance.
We will create stunning brush pen calligraphy finishing with a personal gratitude and abundance card to help visualise and manifest this mindset.
WEEK 3: CONNECTION & KINDNESS
Week three we will be learning modern extended monoline & brush script to guide our theme of connection and kindness – both outer (social) and inner (self) work.
We will create our elegant modern style extended calligraphy – and extend – a card to be given to two other people.
WEEK 4: COMMITMENT & CHANGE
For the final week together we will be learning modern bouncy calligraphy style and returning to ourselves. Reflecting on the course and looking at our wellbeing tool kit and how to create positive change in ourselves and our lives ahead – ending the course with a bounce, and making a loving commitment to yourself.
We will finish the course in this fun modern bouncy style calligraphy with a personal mantra/affirmation card which can be pinned up or carried with us as an inspiring reminder of our commitment to ourselves.
