Want to discover new ways to boost creativity and relieve stress while having fun? Coloring and crafts are not just for kids... in fact, coloring books for adults are now top sellers on Amazon and regularly prescribed for mindfulness and stress relief (and even PTSD) as well as general creativity enhancement. The physical act of coloring (with crayons, pencils, gel pens and/or markers) generates mind-focus and brain-balance while also enhancing creativity. Even if you can't draw a straight (or wavy) line, you can COLOR -- no other artistic skills are required.
We intend to share all kinds of places in LA and SoCal where grown ups can color, do crafts and be part of "Inner Child play dates"! Join our Meetup to find out where these types of events are happening, and attend those close to you -- or create your own!
Members can share YOUR coloring parties or groups, coloring book signings, drawing/painting or coloring technique classes and the like. We also like events or workshops for collage, doodling and Zentangling, among other artistic endeavors. Let's get Creative, SoCal!

San Diego, CA
Creating art in any form is relaxing, but I have found that it also releases an amazing sense of well-being. I feel that as we color, it allows a different part of the brain the space to work through the things that are troubling us. Coloring can elicit a physical state of deep rest, which can change our physical and emotional responses to stress and anxious feelings. These relaxation responses and mindful activities stimulate our neurological system, which counters the effects of stress. Therapeutic advantages to coloring can include increased focus, brain stimulation and lower levels of overall stress responses.
