Somatic Scribbles: Bilateral Drawing & Nervous System Regulation

​Step away from the digital noise and unwind your nervous system with us! 🧠✨

​Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck in an overthinking loop, or just looking to spark fresh creative flow, join us for an evening of play, brain science, and somatic exploration.

​Led by special guest facilitator Renata, Somatic Scribbles explores the art of bilateral drawing—using both hands simultaneously to cross the body's midline, soothe your stress response, and override the inner critic. No artistic experience or special skills are needed. This night is strictly about experimentation, connection, and sensory play.

​Facilitated by Renata (she/they) - Bay Area artist & maker using art as a portal for connection and processing life.

​Here is what the evening looks like:

​🧠 The Science: A 5–10 minute intro to the psychology of bilateral movement and how engaging both hemispheres of your brain helps boost emotional well-being, soothe the nervous system, and unlock creative flow.

​🎨 The Craft & Play: All supplies are fully provided! We’ll be working with large paper sheets, crayons, and oil pastels for solo warm-ups, partner mirroring games, and open scribbling time.

​📓 Take-Home Goodies: Every participant takes home their large paper creations, custom bilateral stickers, and a guided doodle workbook packed with prompts to continue your practice at home whenever you need a quick brain reset.

​🥟 The Vibe: Delicious neighborhood Chinese appetizers + wine provided as always! 🍷 Come solo or bring a friend.

​Grab your neighbor, grab your ticket, and let’s design an incredible summer together!

​Please note: While this workshop offers grounding, nervous system-focused creative practices, Renata is an experiential facilitator, not a licensed art therapist, and this event is not a substitute for clinical mental health care.

​📌 Clubhouse Guidelines & Policy

• ​🌸 Our Space: This is a women-centered, queer-friendly, and inclusive space designed for safety, warmth, and connection.

• ​🗓️ 48-Hour Cancellation Policy: Because supplies are purchased in advance and seating is strictly limited, we are unable to offer refunds for cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event. If something comes up last minute, you are more than welcome to gift your ticket to a friend!

• ​🚪 Arrival Window: Doors open right at the start time. Please try to arrive within the first 15 minutes so we can pour you a glass of wine, grab some apps, and kick off the science portion together without anyone missing out.

• ​📱 Presence Over Pixels: While we love a good aesthetic photo dump (and encourage you to snap a few highlights!), we invite you to keep your phone tucked away during the crafting and yapping so we can all be fully present with each other.

• ​🥂 Inclusivity & Connection: Come solo or with a friend! This is a warm, open space designed for meeting neighbors. There are no strangers at this table—just friends you haven't met yet.
