It is also effective at promoting mindfulness and creative thinking. You will find that origami is fun and relaxing activity that allows you to quieten your mind and allows you to focus, concentrate and be in the present moment. Origami is a relaxing and peaceful hobby, a beautiful art, a craft, a science and a meditation all in one. When you are folding paper, there is stillness, calm and an inner peace. There is something beautiful in turning a plain flat piece of paper into an amazing three dimensional object with just your own hands. It’s one of the simplest art forms in that it just requires a piece of paper and your hands – there’s no need for tools such as pens, brush, inks and paints. I call origami ‘yoga for the mind’ as it allows you to stretch and exercise the creative and artistic areas of your brain that most of us don’t utilise on a day to day basis. Origami is a gender and age neutral activity and something that can be practise anywhere as long as you have a piece of paper.Video: AT5 The origami club was featured on the AT5 / OBALIVE progam. Forward to the 16:30 time mark to see our workshop. <a href="https://www.at5.nl/artikelen/229659/oba-live-vrouwelijke-sint-en-iets-wat-ons-verbindt" title="https://www.at5.nl/artikelen/229659/oba-live-vrouwelijke-sint-en-iets-wat-ons-verbindt" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.at5.nl/artikelen/229659/oba-live-vrouwelijke-sint-en-iets-wat-ons-verbindt</a>BBC: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060lv4m" title="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060lv4m" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060lv4m</a>Channel 4: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINxFi68dmo&amp;t=164s" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINxFi68dmo&amp;t=164s" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINxFi68dmo&amp;t=164s</a>Additional information: Please note that this is a hand on crafting session.
