Awaken your inner creative through Mindfulness Practice!

As a mindfulness facilitator and creative workshop leader it is my honor to witness folks explore, grow, play and connect more deeply to their inner worlds through art. Mindfulness practice is fully integrated into my curriculum and my workshops are customizable, environmentally.- adaptable and fit for all ages. I’ve been very fortunate to facilitate sessions across a wide spectrum of events, ranging from local community meetings to off-grid music festivals.

My life’s mission is to nurture creative spaces and provide equitable access to mindfulness tools in hopes to aid others on their journey to living fully creative, embodied and authentic lives. I invite you to bravely imagine what that could look like for you 🧚🏻‍♀️

Workshops Facilitated : “Connect To Your Inner Creative©”, “`Paint What You Feel©”, “Artcycle©”, “The Universe Game©” and “Box of Chaos©”
