Coloring is more than being creative, it’s a very relaxing activity that has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety.

Each week we’ll be coloring a new mandala design, while also enjoying a good round of conversation. You can use the mandala design we’ve selected or download free designs of your choice from the link below.
