Upcoming Outdoor Workshops
“I absolutely loved the Paint and Meditate workshop! It was so peaceful and welcoming. Everything felt super beginner-friendly and there was zero pressure, just lots of support and good vibes. The meditation was grounding and really helped me get into a creative flow with the painting. You and Dawn created such a calming, encouraging space.
I can't wait to come back!”
