CLASSES + WORKSHOPS

Maybe you want to try something creative. Maybe you want to find a new hobby. Or maybe you want to meet new people while sharing a moment with dear friends. Whatever it is, we are here for the making.


Art Journaling

$40/per person, per class

Art journaling is expressing yourself visually with images and words using collage, paint, and color. It's not about making “pretty" or "perfect". We don't make mistakes -- we have Happy Accidents.

Art journaling is about the process, not the outcome: we're simply expressing ourselves. You won’t leave with a beautiful drawing of a bowl of the countryside or a bowl of fruit. You will, however, walk out relaxed, rejuvenated, and more closely connected to yourself and other strong, supportive women. ​

The community here is nonjudgemental and deeply inspiring. Classes are full of healing, feel-good-ness, and M&M's.

We meet every other Tuesday morning from 10:30-12:30 pm OR there's another session every other Thursday night 7-9:00 pm.

All art supplies and light snacks are supplied. Students are welcome to bring their photos, magazine clippings, snacks, beverages, etc.). We use 9" x 11" hard-bound journals that we also sell for $15, or you can bring your own.
