Therapeutic Creativity for Busy Professionals and Sensitives - Take One Class or Come Every Week - $35 for One Hour of Relaxing Art Practice
Unwind and recharge at the end of your workday. Create the Day Away is an online class designed specifically for busy professionals and sensitives who need a creative and restful pause. In this class, you’ll engage in simple drawing exercises that are easy, accessible, and designed to help you decompress. All you need is your device, some paper, a pencil, paint if you have it. As a therapeutic arts coach, I’ll guide you through activities that encourage relaxation and creativity.
*Important note about supplies: If you are having a rough day and would like to join me and only have paper and pencil or pen (or a Sharpie), join me anyway. All exercises start with drawing and can stay there. For those with watercolor or other painting supplies, additional optional steps are provided so everyone can come as they are and enjoy the calming effects of art.
Whether you’re doodling or painting, these short sessions are enough to lower cortisol levels, boost dopamine, and support overall nervous system regulation. This means not just a mental break, but also physiological benefits that enhance neuroplasticity and emotional processing.
Join us online and let creativity become your end-of-day brain nap; a refreshing, rejuvenating way to reset and recharge.
Please register by 12:00 noon PST on the day of class.
Zoom links are sent by 5:30pm PST the day of class.
