You can expect gentle encouragement and support. A creative practice invites us to tolerate just enough uncertainty to discover what we couldn’t have planned for. This is a practice, not “a perfect.” You’re invited to paint, move, and create on your own and with others, and you’re welcome to share only what you feel comfortable sharing. We co-create a container that can hold many things. Expect laughter, silliness, moments of insight and deep reflection, and sometimes even a few tears. Come as you are, and see what unfolds.

Most workshops are offered in-person and online. Facilitated live and experientially — you’re guided through each moment rather than lectured at. No prior skill required; you take part at whatever level feels right for you. Each session generally runs for two hours with a facilitator and a small group of participants. For in-person workshops, I provide everything you need. For online workshops, I send you a list of easy-to-gather items. Both formats include a take-home activity page to support your ongoing creative practice.

You don't need any experience with expressive arts to participate in a workshop or retreat. This is a guided process with space to explore on your own or with others, at whatever level feels comfortable for you.

These workshops are perfect for people who don't think of themselves as artsy or creative. Unlike traditional art classes, where the emphasis is on honing skills, expressive arts is process-oriented and intuitive.

No. You're welcome to share only what you feel comfortable sharing — being present is always a complete way to take part. Cathartic Release and Claiming and Naming are a bit more explicitly interactive, so expect some built-in sharing in those two, but no one is ever pressured to share more than feels right.
