Designed by Venerable You Ji, Manager of Nan Tien Art Gallery, the “Mindful Art Workshop” was featured at the 2025 Melbourne Buddha’s Birthday and Multicultural Festival from 2–4 May. Led by Venerable You Ji and BLIA YAD Melbourne, the workshop included activities such as hand-drawn bookmarks, Three Acts of Goodness pinwheels, and mandala yarn spin, attracting families and community members. Through hands-on art-making, participants experienced mindfulness and calm, with many saying it felt like finding a peaceful pause amidst life’s busyness. The workshop fostered youth engagement and gently connected the wider community, reflecting the humanistic spirit of Buddhism.
