May is Mental Health Health Awareness Month, and on Tuesday, May 26 at 7pm, the Newton Free Library will host a Doodling Workshop for Stress Relief. Join local art therapist Tova Speter for a therapeutic art workshop exploring the meditative art of Zentangle doodling. Participants will engage in mindful doodling techniques that encourage presence, relaxation and self expression - no art experience required.

The guided session will highlight the ways intentional drawing can support stress relief, foster a sense of calm and accomplishment, and nurture emotional well-being. This program is in partnership with the Newton Health & Human Services Department. The workshop is geared towards adults, but teens and tweens are also welcome. Registration is required for this program. Sign up at NewtonFreeLibrary.net.
