you need a few hours just for you, where you can indulge your creativity in a low-stress workshop where no “artistic talent” is needed? Come and discover a great way to easily and quickly be creative, and to have fun as you let go of stress and worry.
In this two-hour workshop you’ll learn how to use oracle cards as a means of tapping into your inner wisdom and creativity, and then you’ll transform an old book into an art journal, connecting with your creative muse as you play with color and collage. You will leave with a wonderful and easy creative practice than can help center you and bring enjoyment to your life. All materials are provided and all levels of creative experience are welcome!
