"Beyond Words": Creative Expression Workshop
I'm
90-minute guided workshop that combines mindfulness and creative expression to help you explore what sits just beneath awareness. Through a gentle prompt and open-ended creative time participants will use writing, drawing, scribbling, collage or movement, or any form of creative expression that feels natural to the individual. You’re invited to connect with your inner experience in a way that doesn’t require words or perfection, just presence. No "art skills" required!

Group & Workshop Policies
Registration & Payment
Full payment is required at the time of registration in order to reserve your place in a group or workshop.
For online groups offered through Zoom, participants will receive an email prior to the workshop containing the Zoom invitation and any accompanying materials (PDF or Word documents, when applicable). Some workshops may not include supplemental materials.
For in-person groups, materials will be provided at the beginning of class when applicable.
Attendance, Cancellations & Refunds
Because group space is limited and preparation occurs in advance, no make-up sessions or replay recordings will be offered.
Cancellations made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled workshop date are eligible for a 50% refund upon request. If no request is made within 3 days of the end of group, no refund will be issued. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the workshop, as well as missed workshops/no-shows, are non-refundable.
All sales become final at midnight on the day prior to the workshop date.
Registration Deadlines
Registration and payment for workshops must be completed no later than 72 hours prior to the start of the group or workshop. Registration will close automatically at that time.
Example: If a workshop takes place on Saturday, registration and payment must be completed by midnight on Tuesday.
