What Can I Do to Feel Better Book Tour

In 2021, collaborator Myles Bullen reached out asking people what they do to feel better, and with their responses he wrote a poem. With that poem, Josie Colt illustrated those suggestions. With those illustrations, they made a book: a coloring book! With this coloring book and Kindling Fund support, the artists are proposing to go on a coloring book tour across Maine, sharing the benefits of mindfulness, art, music, and group activity with the public. Each event will last a few hours where individuals are invited to sit and color a copy of the book in a group setting for however long they wish. These events will take place in parks, youth centers, old folks homes, and with other community partners who invite them. Each event will collaborate with local musicians to provide live music for the group to color to, and mindfulness practitioners in the Portland community to lead meditation.
