SCDS would like to introduce a relaxation method to all of you, Zentangle.

It is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. You can use a background template, which contains pre-arranged lines producing segments that you can ‘tangle’ within, or you can simply start with a blank piece of paper. Tangles are just the combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs.

Zentangle was discovered by Maria Thomas, found herself doodling background patterns on a manuscript she was writing. She noticed that while she drew, she experienced feelings of liberation, well-being and complete focus, with no usual thoughts or worries entering her mind. This is how people describe meditation – and now it’s how people are describing Zentangle!
