Mindful Drawing for wellbeing, focus and calm - Kingswood Arts

Come as you are, no materials needed, a structured way of tapping into your creativity, even if you think you can't draw. A one off session to experience and learn more about the Zentangle Method of mindful drawing, a global movement to reduce stress an improve focus one pen stroke at a time.

Unlike general mindful doodling, Zentangle® is a research-supported method that actively engages the brain, fostering a state of relaxed focus. Studies have shown that repetitive, structured patterns can:

Reduce stress & anxiety – Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your body's natural calming response)

Boost creativity – Encouraging a flow state, similar to meditation

Enhance cognitive focus - and emotional well-being 

More information about the venue is here. Please note carefully the instructions about the road use locally.

To arrive by train, Sydenham Hill train station is very close by and has a regular service from Victoria. Gipsy Hill is also only a 10 minute walk away.

To arrive by bus the area is serviced by the 450 bus from West Croydon to Bell Green.  Get off at Kingswood Drive.

To arrive by overground, the closest station is Sydenham and you then take the 450 bus towards Crystal Palace and get off at Kingswood Drive. 

You can then walk through the old gates and find Kingswood Arts in the centre of the estate. 

If you are planning to drive, there is very limited parking on site here at Kingswood Arts and the estate is normally very full with cars so we do recommend finding other means of getting here or parking off the estate and walking in.  

If you have access requirements and require the use of a parking space please email info@kingswoodarts.com ahead of the event.

Please note, a 'schools street' is in operation around the Kingswood Estate from 8-9:30am and 2:30-4pm from Mondays to Friday. You can't drive on the estate during these hours. Please plan your visit accordingly. Alternative parking is available on Kingswood Drive.  

There is cycle parking for those arriving by bike. 

The ground floor is wheelchair accessible with the use of a ramp. Accessing the upper floors does require using steps and sadly at this point there is no lift.
