Recently, I've been receiving huge nudges from the universe to share my gifts. Almost every day, I've found myself with some sort of cosmic nudge to do SOMETHING. I mean, I'm still painting. I try to create almost daily. I opened my Reiki studio where I offer Reiki in the late afternoons and on Saturdays. I have a book club, an accountability partner (actually 2). I want to start offering online Yoga classes for beginners. What else could it be?
I meditated. I journaled. Finally, I realized I just needed to take a step. I needed to be seen. Seen for real. Show up in my energetic glory. Teach people about energy in the body. How this energy should be cleaned, cleared, protected, and used to spread goodness in the world.
I've been seeking community, but have realized that if I want community in-person, I must create it. So, I'm taking a small step.
This may not be for you and that's okay. Just delete the email and go about your day.. I mean, don't unsubscribe. You don't want to miss out on my art and creative offerings, do you? But, if this is something you have interest in, I urge you to check it out today. I'm offering a Saturday morning, in-person workshop on your body's energy channels and how they work. ENERGY 101
Seating is limited to 6 people. I want this to be fun and enlightening, but also a safe space. We will talk about meridians and chakras, learn to recognized our own energy and the energy of others, as well as how to ground and protect ourselves. If this sounds interesting to you, but you have questions, please hit reply and let's chat!
xoxo,

Welcome to the Art Newsletter! Welcome! I've been wanting to start a newsletter for a while now. I already write two blogs--one focused on art and creativity, and another centered on energy work--and that's a lot of writing for me and a lot of reading for you. What I realized I was missing was a simple place to share announcements, new work, sales, and class offerings—all in one spot. This newsletter fills that gap. Here, you’ll stay up to date on what’s happening in my studio, get to know me...
