​Let's lean into healthy bliss by way of creativity, color, and community with an immersive journaling and somatic painting experience - hosted by @journalingclasses

​Kick off your Saturday morning with play and joy. This welcoming workshop in the park is intentionally designed to inspire creativity, healing and self-expression through expressive playful painting and mindfulness based journaling exercises.

​Simply show up with an open mind and everything else will be provided for you. This intimate workshop will invite you to show up, take off your shoes, to get comfy, and to make yourself right at home. We will provide a 12-foot canvas, blank journals, and washable, environmentally-friendly paint for you to enjoy a unique and different experience. You will receive a brand new journal, have lite bites and yummy drinks by Recess and some of the best writing utensils to tap in pen to paper.

​🌀Attendees will engage in various expressive activities, tapping into new or forgotten parts of themselves. We'll paint ourselves and throw paint to express joy, create doodles, and cultivate a non-judgmental, non-overthinking space for genuine self-expression and deep joy.

​🌀After our painting exercises, we'll transition into journaling prompts and intentional community sharing fostering connection and reflection in a safe environment. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore creativity, find light, and experience the joy of unrestrained expression.

​🌀Leave space for you to walk away with high vibrations, deep clarity and expansive joy as you tend to your inner child. This workshop will be gently guided and you will be supported by Emily, your host. Show up with an open mind and take what you need.
