Finding Serenity
A 12-Step Mindful Coloring Book
Geometry for a restless mind. Slogans for a hard day.
About the book
What is inside
Finding Serenity is a contemplative collection of 29 original drawings. Intricate geometric patterns sit beside the spiritual ideas of the 12-Step recovery process, so you can explore them without having to put anything into words.
The book travels from cosmic designs that suggest order and clarity into flowing, organic forms that suggest nature, surrender and connection. Mandalas and radiating crystals give the eye something to follow. Winding paths, lanterns and vines give the heart something to rest on.
Between the patterns, hand-lettered slogans wait to be colored in: short, familiar phrases from the rooms, made into pictures.
This book is dedicated to all those that keep coming back.
Geometry to organic
The book opens with ordered, radiating patterns and softens into roots, vines and paths.
Lettering you can color
Slogans are part of the art: Thy will not mine. Flow state. You can do it. Trust the process.
A way in without words
The back cover calls it a non-verbal way to explore the Steps. The pages ask only that you look and color.
Dedicated to those who keep coming back
A dedication to everyone who returns, however many times it takes.
From the pages
Thy will not mine.
I'm glad you are here.
1 is too many and a thousand never enough.
Flow state.
You can do it.
Trust the process.

A note for gel pens
Gel inks vary from brand to brand. Try each pen on a spare sheet first, and slip a blank page behind the one you are coloring. Then work as slowly as you like.
