Happy New Intention to all ❤️💫

A Willingness to Keep Showing Up

I step into this new year
gently, without resolutions,
with just a simple willingness,
to keep going,
to keep moving forward.

Not the bright, declarative kind of decision
that arrives with banners and promises,
but the quieter kind,
the one that asks for nothing grand.

No transformation.
Just an honest effort
to place one foot in front of the other,
without needing it to be a victory march.

To keep going isn’t strength.
It’s letting the days arrive as they are,
some heavy,
some hollow,
some unexpectedly kind.

It’s allowing grief, fatigue, memory, and love
to share the same room,
without insisting that any of them leave.

There is no list.
No reinvention.
No deadline for becoming someone new.
There is only the steady choice
to remain present,
to trust that willingness itself
is an act of grace.

So this year begins
not with resolve, but with intention:
the intention to stay present,
the intention to try again tomorrow,
the intention to simply keep showing up.

As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for being part of so many heart-led creative moments throughout the year. It has been a joy to witness your creativity and connection. May this Christmas/Holiday season bring you peace, rest, and space to breathe deeply and be present with what truly matters. Hold your loved ones, both here and departed close. May your days be filled with gentle moments to nourish your soul, and to simply be. This quote resonated with me a lot throughout the year, I hope it does for you too during any challenging times you may be facing. “The best way out is always through” Robert Frost. It’s a timeless message about resilience, acceptance, and confronting challenges directly (sitting in your discomfort, rather than distraction and escaping) to find resolution. With gratitude, 
Angela

🎨🧘‍♀️The Be You Living Mindfulness Art program is back for Term 4 at Mentone Grammar and we’re ready to create, connect, and slow down. The program is designed to guide students through a deepening journey of self-expression and inner stillness by alternating between three powerful practices: 🖌️ Intuitive Process Painting – Students are encouraged to let go of perfection, control, and outcome. In a creative non-judgmental space students learn to explore and express themselves freely in the present moment. The open-ended process embodies trust, creative freedom and self-discovery. 🖍️ Mindful Colouring & Drawing – With a focus on the breath, rhythm, repetition, and gentle attention. This practice invites students to quiet the mind, regulate the nervous system, and bring awareness to the here and now. It’s about grounding through movement, one line or shape at a time. 🔧 Creating Mindfulness Tools – Students create and craft their own personalised mindfulness tools to use in their daily lives. These tools help bring mindfulness into real-world moments of stress, big emotions, or reflection and relaxation. Each week, students are given the opportunity to reflect, reset, and reconnect with themselves and their creativity in a safe, supportive, and calming environment. We’re excited to hold this space again in Term 4 and witness the magic that unfolds when art meets awareness. 💙 Starts Monday 13th Oct and Thursday 16th Oct, for Foundation to yr 6 students (8 weeks) @mentinegrammar #MindfulArt #MentoneGrammar #StudentWellbeing #CreativeMindfulness #ArtAsMindfulness #MindfulnessInSchools #Term4Journey #IntuitiveArt #WellbeingThroughArt #MindfulTools #MentoneMoments

🌿🎨 From Winter’s Stillness to Spring’s Bloom — Wrapping Up Term 3 Mindful Art ✨🌸 As we close the chapter on Term 3, we look back with full hearts at a season of quiet growth and gentle transformation. We began the term in the stillness of winter — a time for turning inward, for reflection, for slow and intentional creation. With each class, we explored the art of being present, of letting go, of allowing colour and texture to guide us gently back to ourselves. And as the weeks passed, the days grew lighter. The colours around us began to shift.
And just like the world outside, we too began to unfurl — step by step, stroke by stroke — into the energy and promise of spring. 💫 This term wasn’t just about making art - it was about noticing, softening, and awakening alongside the season. Now, with spring in full bloom, we’re excited to invite you to continue this creative unfolding in Term 4. 🖌️ Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, the Be You Living Mindfulness Art program @mentonegrammar is a space for everyone — no experience needed, just a willingness to slow down and explore. 🌸 Term 4 Enrolments Are Now Open!
🗓️ Starts Monday 13th Oct and Thursday 16th Oct (runs for 8 weeks)
📍At Eblana Art room for Foundation to Year 6 students @mentonegrammar only.
✨ All materials provided
🌈 Limited spots available Let’s continue the journey — from stillness to flow, from winter’s rest to spring’s renewal.
