Paint.Breathe.Reset
WHAT IS IT
A 90-minute class of art + wellness = calm. You will walk out with a painting and less anxiety. No experience needed. Imperfection is the key.
⭐ BETA TEST RUN — Free · small & intimate · all materials provided
🎨 This is the painting we'll be working toward — but no two will look the same. Your brushstrokes, your shapes, your anxiety. Every piece is a little self-portrait of whatever you walked in carrying:
Burned out from work? Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or just running on empty? 😮💨 This 90-minute class combines anxiety reduction techniques with hands-on expressive painting.
You'll journal, breathe, and paint your way through a structured experience designed to help you feel calmer by the end than when you walked in. You leave with a finished abstract art painting.
Because this is a test run, your feedback will be invaluable. At the end of class we will collect input on what worked and what didn't — your honest feedback will help this reach more people who need it.
