Hi I’m Sharon, And I’m so excited to be your guide on the fun and creative journey that is Zentangle! I’m a CZT and Professional Certified Coach specializing in Leadership Development, Emotional Intelligence and Conscious Leadership. I work will all sorts of very strong, capable and busy leaders. In that population, taking time for yourself to relax and pursue meditation, stress reduction techniques or even a creative outlet or hobby sometimes takes a lot of convincing. That got a lot easier with Zentangle. For anyone with a desire to meditate but a challenge sitting still and ‘doing nothing’ zentangle is perfect and has become a powerful way for people to slow down, take a few minutes for themselves, engage a part of the mind that isn’t usually active in business and reset in the middle of a busy day. You can learn more about my work at www.questiam.com and more about how zentangle fits into a quest for self discovery, self expression and leadership at tangletimes.com
I first saw a colleague doing some Zentangle Inspired Art in August 2013 at a workshop I was attending in Costa Rica. As the drawing took shape, my attention was drawn away from the workshop over and over to her work. I was entranced. At a break I asked her what she was doing. She showed me an instructional book, thankfully written by a CZT (certified Zentangle trainer), which referenced Rick and Maria’s wonderful Zentangle website. I did as much online looking about as I could while I was away and learned a little about the process. Right after I returned from the workshop I hit my local art supply store and began my own tangling journey. I would have taken the CZT training that winter had it not been full. Instead I wound up at CZT 14 in June of 2014 with a wonderful group and of course, with Rick and Maria themselves.
From my very first tangling attempts I knew I’d found something special. With Zentangle, you progress quickly and no matter where or how you begin, you have found an absorbing, relaxing, creative way to add a little beauty, ease and joy to your life, and to the world. Please reach out if you’re interested in a class in your area. I’m delighted to offer classes and workshops to small groups of friends, corporate groups or community groups all over Southern Ontario and Canada.
