CLASSES & WORKSHOPS​​​​
​
Adult Creative Expressions
​​
April 21, 2025. 6:45-8:00 PM
1st and 3rd Mondays​
​
Sliding Scale $35-$15
​
Increase your personal awareness and healing through creative art making, facilitated by Katy Marver.
Research now shows that "engaging in an art project for as little as forty-five minutes reduces the stress hormone cortisol, no matter your skill level, and just one art experience per month can extend your life by ten years.” (Magsamen and Ross, 2023. Your brain on art, how the arts transform us).
The wonderful thing about art is that it reaches a place within us that is beyond words, because often, the emotions in life are far more than words can express.
This class is designed so that everyone gets the opportunity to share their art with or without words if they choose. We will be using a variety of materials including pencils, pastels, paints, clay, collage, and more.
All supplies are included with the price, and all experientials will be designed to meet the needs of those present.
Everyone attending must sign a confidentiality agreement at the beginning of class as a reminder of the sacred act of witnessing and holding space. Every single person experiences emotional pain, challenges, joys, laughter, and struggles in life. This class honors each person where they are at in the moment, and looks to provide hope, healing and support.

The Evening Star; Paint Processing Workshop
​
Saturday, May 31; 5:00-10:00 PM
$109 includes all supplies
​
Prepare for a fabulous summer season by doing some deep personal work under the energy of the new moon in Gemini and assistance of the Evening Star, planet Venus. We will be doing a drum journey and then emotional process painting outside on the large canvases with a fire and some intuitive movement and breathwork. The Evening Star can help us to engage more deeply and fully with our feelings and to be more introspective and thoughtful--instead of judgmental and dismissive when it comes to our relationships and sacred connections with ourselves and others.
Wear layers of clothing that you do not mind getting dirty and campfire smoky. Consider prepping some personal goals for better understanding your previous relationship patterns and coping mechanisms so as to make more conscious decisions on who to invite into your life, how to more deeply connect with others and how to best honor yourself and what you want out of your life and all of your relationships. Remember; this process can be a springboard into more joy, love, passion and excitement for YOU!
We will have tea, water, some snacks, and all of your process painting supplies for the evening. Please bring a personal journal, pen, a water bottle and footwear that is comfortable.
Cost is $109.00 for the workshop. Katy Marver and Jen Martin will be hosting this unique outdoor experiential evening workshop. Bring a friend or family member you trust so you can work together or support one another more deeply.
