Beginning Zentangle Art: Unlock a new pathway to relaxation and inner focus. The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Because the design evolves organically, it is impossible to make a mistake. Some have found that the Zentangle process can help promote a state of flow, calm anxious thoughts, and foster mindfulness.

In this 1-hour class BeWell Healthy Living for Teams event, you will be introduced to the practice of Zentangle art and learn two basic patterns that you will use to create a Zentangle tile. You will leave the session with your own unique design and the tools to access this creative mindfulness process anytime, anywhere.

Please join us online or in person with a blank sheet of paper, a fine-tip black marker or pen, and a pencil ready to use during class.  For those who can join in person, snacks will be provided.

For eligible employees, please register for the class via the following link to receive 2,000 BeWell incentive points: Register Here

• This event is open to everyone at SLAC. We’re also extending the invitation to our partner Bay Area Labs (LBNL, LBL, Sandia) to join us virtually.
• About the book: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  Set amid the NASA 1980s shuttle program, Atmosphere is a work of historical fiction that follows Joan Goodwin, a reserved Rice physics professor, into a world where ambition, friendship, and unexpected love take flight. As she trains with a remarkable cohort, the fateful STS-LR9 mission becomes a moment that changes everything. Fast-paced and deeply emotional, Atmosphere explores gender and sexuality discrimination in both the workplace and greater society, the balance between ambition and sacrifice, and the human need to love and belong.
• Light refreshments provided. You’re encouraged to bring your lunch.
• Haven’t read the book? Feel free to join us for the discussion even if you haven’t had the chance.

A note on participation and time-charging: Supervisors are encouraged to allow employees to participate in community activities as operations permit. Employees should charge their usual PA since the activities provide value to SLAC. However, if a particular project requires work to be backfilled during this time, a separate PA number might be required. For employees who are part of a service center, they should charge their shop’s UDT (undistributed time) code. For exceptions or complex charging situations, reach out to your business manager.
