All the Gatherings
Here’s where you’ll find all the virtual and in-person gatherings I’m hosting. Sign up for one or more. Block off time on your calendar and celebrate that you’re saying “yes!” to self-care.
Fresh Starts
January: Fresh Starts (Without Pressure)
This month, we begin gently. No resolutions. No productivity goals. Just an hour to settle in, reconnect with yourself, and create at a human pace. Fresh starts can be quiet and small — and they can begin right here.
Self-Kindness
February: Self-Kindness
An hour to turn your compassion inward — to speak to yourself with the same gentleness you offer others, and to make something that reminds you that you matter too.
The Messy Middle
March: The Messy Middle
An invitation to honor the in-between — the awkward, uncertain becoming — and to trust the process even when the outcome isn’t visible yet.
Repetition
April: Repetition
This month, we explore the grounding power of small, repeated gestures — simple marks that become a rhythm, a meditation, a soft return to presence.
November Ripple Room: Making Space for Gratitude
This month’s Ripple Room is an invitation to craft a thank-you token, write a note to someone you love, or make simply for the joy of giving it away. The theme is: Making Space for Gratitude.
October Ripple Room: The Colors of Fall
This month’s Ripple Room is an invitation to make room for richness, texture, and seasonal pause. The theme is: The Colors of Fall.
September Ripple Room: Nurture
This month’s Ripple Room is an invitation to gently care for what’s already within you. The theme is: Nurture.
Ripple Room: Unrushed
Whether you draw, stitch, collage, write, or simply breathe alongside others, this is your permission slip to create without rushing.
Ripple Room: Permission Granted
Your Monthly Creative Drop-In
We gather every month in the Ripple Room to pause and play. To create from a place of presence and possibility.
This isn’t a workshop. There’s no step-by-step, no outcome to chase. Just an open hour for you to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with whatever wants to emerge.
PERMISSION GRANTED
This month in The Ripple Room, we’re tossing out the rules and making space for brave beginnings, playful messes, and art that doesn’t need to prove anything.
Creative permission is about letting go of the shoulds:
should be neater,
should have a purpose,
should look a certain way
and returning to the quiet joy of making, just because you can.
Whether you’ve been feeling blocked, burned out, or just hesitant to start, this open studio hour invites you to:
Doodle without judgment
Scribble with delight
Make something “bad” on purpose
Try what you’ve been too afraid to try

Ripple Room: A Playful Summer
Your Monthly Creative Drop-In
We gather every month in the Ripple Room to pause and play. To create from a place of presence and possibility.
This isn’t a workshop. There’s no step-by-step, no outcome to chase. Just an open hour for you to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with whatever wants to emerge.
June’s Theme: A Playful Summer
The smell of sunscreen. A memory sparked by music. A watermelon wedge on a hot afternoon.
We’ll let summer’s whimsy guide us—through color, story, or stillness. Bring whatever brings you joy: paints, paper scraps, old notebooks, silence, poetry, or a stubborn case of creative block.
All are welcome here.
No agenda. No judgment. Just one big collective exhale.
Whether you’re:
feeling creatively stuck
longing for a moment of quiet connection
craving a little low-pressure play
This is your space. A place to start small. To make something imperfect. To feel less alone.
You might leave with a painting. Or a poem. Or just a lighter heart.
However you arrive, you’re in the right place.
