Calligratherapy is a mindfulness and therapeutic practice descending from traditional Chinese ink painting and calligraphy. It offers an alternative way to manage stress and enhance overall well-being for children and young people. Various scientific studies have validated the healing properties of this ancient art form, which can help to centre the body and mind through mindful physical exercise with a focused goal. It teaches practitioners how to be present at the moment and redirect thoughts into creative pathways. The unique combination of meditative writing/drawing with art-making allows students to express themselves within a structured yet creative experience.
Enchanted Brush is a Calligratherapy programme specifically designed for Children and young people. It offers a unique and captivating learning experience–its programme weaves an inspirational story of an enchanted brush throughout the whole course, engaging students in novel ways! It is a story about love, family, ink art and Chinese characters.
As explored by Greg and Jonathan in their book “In the coddling of the American mind”, the main causes behind the growing trend of helicopter parenting and its effect on young adults are: the increase in anxiety disorders, the decline in free play, and the rise of social media. The authors argue that these factors have led to a generation of entitled, anxious, and easily offended young adults. It is getting more and more important to address the mental health of children and young people. One solution recommended by the author is to practice mindfulness.
Enchanted brush Calligratherapy is an interactive, creative programme for teachers and parents to teach children aged 8+ mindfulness practice. It provides a unique way for those who want to learn about Chinese character writing and painting through a yound girl Lyla’s adventures in a magical world created by Ayeh’s enchanted brush.
The lessons will teach you traditional techniques as well as explore the meaning behind Chinese character composition! The sky, the moon, the Great Race of zodiac animals, the dark forest & faraway land and more, it all awaits you as you work through the lessons.
