ZenFullyUrz Zentangle

Hi, I am Rachael Schwartz. Welcome to ZenFullyUrz. I am so grateful you are here.

  In 2020, I participated in my first Zentangle® class led by a dear friend.  This class was virtual as we had just entered a pandemic.  People were looking for ways to engage, keep involved, and most importantly maintain or gain mental wellness.  I immediately became hooked as the sense of calm and joy were instant.  I continued my journey drawing as much as I could, learning from different teachers. Zentangle® has enabled me to channel my love of art into a mindful practice, benefitting from the therapeutic effect of being in the moment through my art. In 2023, I decided I wanted to be a Zentangle® teacher so I could share this gift with others.  As a CZT (Certified Zentangle® Teacher), I strive to bring this art form to as many people as possible.  It is so exciting witnessing the joy of grownups who feel that they aren't creative, being proud of their drawing.  I have taught individuals, small groups, corporate teams, Retreat participants, and Riverboat Cruise travelers; to name a few.

Zentangle® is an easy way of creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called tangles. Created by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, it is a proven method to promote mindfulness and fosters self-esteem, focus, relaxation, creativity, and stress relief. People of all ages and skill levels can create Zentangle® art and have fun in the process!

Even if you think you cannot draw, you can learn Zentangle® and create stunning original art using the same strokes as the letters c, s, i, and o. 

Are you new to Zentangle® looking for an Intro Class? Are you looking for help with your shading? Is there a new technique you would like to learn? Do you enjoy learning new tangles? Are you more comfortable following along with an instructor?

In each of my classes, I supportively guide my students through the 8 steps of the Zentangle® Method.  With my classes, I provide step-outs of tangles used as well as other resources.  Classes are offered both live and as a recording to meet your scheduling needs.  Check back often for current offerings.
