You’re Invited to Create + Connect
Carve out a little time to slow down and play creatively, together.
Mindful Marks is a relaxed, open-studio style gathering designed to help you make space for creative play, presence, and connection. This is a gentle in-person spin-off of my online Mindful Marks class — the online class is more guided, while our in-person gatherings are more open-ended. Some weeks I’ll offer a theme or a simple creative exercise from the course, and other weeks you’re invited to follow your own inspiration.
Bring a project you’re working on, or come with nothing at all and explore the playful materials provided.
When we create alongside one another, something shifts. The nervous system softens. The walls come down. Conversation becomes easier. And we remember that creativity isn’t just about making something beautiful — it’s about showing up and being human together.
