Fee: $40 per session.  $200 if you sign up for all 6 sessions.

Basic materials are provided. Participation in all sessions is encouraged. However, you may register for as many sessions as you like. 

 Any level of art experience is welcome, including beginners, working artists, and people who think they “aren’t creative”.  The atmosphere will be safe and accepting; no critiques or interpretations. Classes are designed to open you up to your creative flow, access authentic imagery, facilitate healing and well being, and assist you in developing a personal art practice. It is not art instruction, and it is not therapy.
