Art Reset
Womxn’s Art Reset – A Winter Invitation from Solstice to Equinox.
Calling on your curiosity, intuition, and play as an artist or maker.
We’ll be live for 20 minutes every day to nourish your creative soul.
Join our rotating troupe of daily guides who will hold sacred virtual space for you to play, explore, and let yourself flow. Think of it as a lunch-time art-snack-- or mid-morning if you’re on the West Coast!
You don’t have to be a professional artist, or even working on any particular project. This is an intentional space to simply connect with other humans seeking a non-judgemental, nurturing place to let creativity grow.
Womxn’s Art Reset is open to people who identify as female and non-binary people who feel they would benefit from accessing a women centered space.
Tuesday 12/21 - Sunday 3/20 at 12 Noon EST/9am PT (20 min each day)
No attendance required and come any day/s that suit you.

Creative practice allows me to experience my wholeness.
Here I glow with aliveness, the space in between uncertainty and knowing becomes vibrant, and I belong.
As a visual artist and art therapist I invite you to be present and curious within your wholeness, remember your connection with the earth and universe, play and become liberated in creative flow.
Ritual & Practice (1:1) and Womxn’s Art Circle are two spaces I host for regular compassionate creative connection.
