Upcoming Classes
The Artist’s Way in 13 weeks
Unlock your Creativity! Following the book by Julia Cameron, I will be facilitating a Thirteen Week program meant to help you tap into your inner Artist Child. Monday evenings 6-8:30p
Yes! You have an artist inside of you just waiting for you to unlock your Creativity. We will do some crafty activities (coloring, collage, print making) but mostly we will review the reading of one chapter a week and the activities in the book.
I am only charging enough to cover the cost of space rental and a few supplies! Rock Mama has the book and accompanying workbook if you like having the dedicated journal for doing the weekly tasks.
Hard Time with Commitment?
Pay the $20 drop in fee to come see what it's all about and join in on the creative activities. If you decide to take the course, your 20 dollars counts as a deposit! Drop in any time!
Already been a part of The Artist's Way and just want to drop in one week? Use the drop in fee for a one night visit. Join the check ins and remind yourself to keep going with your Artist Dates and Morning Pages!

I have printables to keep you on track. Whether you’re doing it on your own, running your own group, or just missed a week, you can find my worksheets to help you jump on the weekly tasks and exercises from the reading under Projects>Artist’s Way
Drawing Mandalas: Hands of Light
Even if you think you can’t draw, this class is for you! Meditative and creative learning experience wrapped in one class.
Designing Mandalas: Kaleidoscope Method
Guided meditation and drawing instruction all in one! A simple, impactful and personal mandala creation experience. Working on White Paper.
We will do guided meditation to define what symbols and colors you will incorporate into your mandala. The word 'mandala' in Sanskrit means sacred circle. Kaleidoscopes, through the use of mirrors, repeats a wedge motif to create a circle of pattern.
We will design our own wedge motifs, as simple or complex as you feel comfortable with, to be repeated.
No experience necessary!
I am going to help you create simple designs, show you simple artist tricks for creating and repeating patterns, discuss meaning and use of color (both energetically and artistically), how to create value changes; all during the process of channeling energy into our mandalas!
Mandalas are a wonderful, magical tool for healing and ritual focus. They can be created for ourselves or for others. If you're taking Crystal Gridding 2 from Joshua Frederick, they will show you how to incorporate your mandala into gridding too!
I am so excited to be able to offer this class, I hope you will find the courage to allow yourself to create!
Class Materials:
In the interest of making the price of this class more accessible, there are two price options.
This class will give you the method to design and create mandalas but probably won't be enough time to finish coloring. I will have pencils to share but once you go home you may not have the same colors to continue your peice.
Option 1: Designing $50
I will have pencils to share but you are welcome to bring your own colored pencils.
Looking for cheap but decent color? Crayola is suprisingly smooth and vibrant. A simple basic set will do.
Want artist quality? I love Prismacolor. They are vibrant, artist quality pencils that blend beautifully.
Option 2: Designing plus Materials $75
I will provide you with your own set of basic colors in prismacolors and a few other goodies for you to keep.
Drawing Mandalas: Hands of Light
Guided meditation and drawing instruction all in one! A simple, impactful and personal mandala creation experience. Working on black paper. Get in touch with your healing hands.
We will be doing a small warm up sketch with a guided meditation to acquaint you with the pencil and paper, gaining instruction in how to create value changes during the process of channeling energy into our mandalas.
NO Experience Necessary! Give yourself permission to try something outside your comfort zone. You will be surprised!
