Gratitude

In the spirit of our Thanksgiving holiday later this week, we wanted to express our gratitude for the Zentangle Community and share with you this gourdgeous blog from 2021.

--- + ---

Gratitude (noun) is the feeling of appreciation or thanks.

We talk about gratitude often. It is not a coincidence that it is the first (and last!) step in the Zentangle Method. It is something we strive to practice in everything that we do. One of joys of gratitude is that this feeling is felt all over the world. Much like the Zentangle Method, it transcends borders, cultures, languages and backgrounds.

From our hearts to yours . . . Thank you.

  • I’m thankful for being more aware of every moment. When I tangle, I’m am truly ‘in my own moment’ and when I’m in a Zentangle class, I’m grateful that other Tanglers enrich my time with them. The Zentangle Method allows me the flexibility of artistry, the embrace of community and the pleasure of sharing my tiles. Thank you.

    I’m so thankful that your “no mistakes” philosophy brought me back into the world of art—allowing me to play on the page and grow into creativity once again after years of fearing mistakes.
