Perfect Days: Paint & Sip, Feel First

​This 90-minute paint and sip class is an experiential journey into the two sides of the self. After a brief, guided meditation to settle the nervous system and open the mind, you'll work on two large canvases side by side.

​The first is dedicated to your growing self: the part of you that is forward-facing, future-oriented, and alive in possibility. The second canvas turns inward, toward the shadow self: the parts that have been waiting quietly beneath the surface; your inner child, old wounds, past regressions, and unspoken insecurities.

​Rather than processing these through words, you'll express them through color and mark-making, in a space that is held, intentional, and free of judgment. You'll leave with two paintings that together form a complete portrait of who you are right now. No art experience required.

​The cafe will be open before and during class for herbal beverages and adaptogenic snacks to pair with your experience.
