Welcome. We are a community FREE
of judgment.
We explore the integration of our soul expressing through our body. Our approach is Embodied Mark Making & Journaling.
Foremost these approaches activate the body's parasympathetic "Rest & Digest" nervous system (PSNS) — essential for shifting the body out of a stressed, "fight-or-flight" reactive state and into a receptive state of recovery, balance — and yes, creativity. We like to call this the Creative HEART Space. And when you are there, there is nothing else like it.
We also engage with the creative supplies and art materials that call to us. No prior experience is necessary, yet seasoned artists are also discovering new depths in their work.
Our accessible artistic education is nourished by reciprocity and pure potential.
We full heartedly encourage those who

We believe in lifelong learning for all ages.
It takes courage to slow down and truly listen to how creativity wants to support the integration of your wise-soul-self with your wise-body-self. Our creative sessions offer approaches guided by the wisdom of the Earth, the uniqueness of your soul and spirit in its most vast expression to support this integration and to have fun. Participants journal, doodle, draw, paint, write poetry, collage, knit, sculpt, move, dance, make the best salad ever — some have written scripts and episodic pilots. Sometimes people choose to explore Creative Rest for an entire session if they need to rest. The magic is in how the sessions begin with activating the body's parasympathetic "Rest & Digest" nervous system (PSNS) which invites participants directly into their Creative HEART Space. Once in their creative flow, participants work with whatever creative form or medium calls to them. No end game is expected yet the sessions may spark an artwork, more in-depth writing, a creative project...the world is your oyster when you are in your Creative HEART Space. Each participant receives the medicine they need through the cumulative benefits of the creative sessions. All that is needed is a curious heart, some paper or a journal and something to make marks or words with.
Make your marks.
Testimonials
It’s more of a community than a class gathering. I know that every week I can join in and spend quality time releasing and expressing in unison.

I am so thankful to have found this creative space. The guided meditation followed by the open creative time has allowed me to learn more about myself and discover that being creative has such a positive impact far beyond the sessions.

There is a depth of consciousness that occurs during the meditations that follow the breathwork.

The Creative School allows me to take care of myself for a few minutes each day. As the sessions build, I find it easier to relax and just draw without commentary.

THIS is the kind of space that artists and non-artists alike need to redefine the act of mark-making and drawing.

The sessions balance breathing, mark-making, drawing and meditation techniques which allow me to draw from my subconscious and create something unexpected. I'm growing unapologetically.
Tim, Odenton, MD
Artist & Decorative Painter
There are two sacred vessels holding love and restful tenderness. My heart, strong and sweet, beating steadily, dancing with my breath, the lover of trees, and throughout my whole body. Oh my beloved best friend and home to all of me, my soul spirit, my stardust reborn again and again.

From the mind, or the heart, or an essence that's even deeper – I'm learning to take them out of the abstract inner world and onto the pages in front of me. The sessions are an awakening process that I am very passionate about!

I do mindfulness but seldom make time to pick up my art supplies. It is amazing how they work in combination.

Haven't been able to remember dreams for the past several years but the creative sessions have opened up that channel again. And the dreams keep coming! I am so thankful for this important work you are offering to a world so much in need!

I've learned new tools that allow me to tap into long dormant creative energy. The environment fostered allows me to share that energy with a group whose focus is on creating without the pressure of critique and technique.
