About

Creative Meanderings is exactly as the name implies; my creative wandering shared with you, as well as the home of my Creative Mindfulness Workshops, ramblings, gallery, and store.

​

The Creative Mindfulness Workshops are small gatherings of kind people coming together to get silly and play in art…and perhaps, get a little introspective too. 😊🖤
 

We engage in fun art challenges, such as three word prompts, under a general theme shared at the beginning of each workshop. Each activity thoughtfully woven with mindfulness practices.

Since introspection can be hard, I wanted to provide a gentle way to tap into it: laughter!

There are plenty of opportunities to share only if you WANT to. There is absolutely no performances, no forced participation, and no need to do any more than you want to. For my virtual workshops, this even includes showing faces!
 

I want you to have fun but sometimes feelings come up and that is okay! Feelings are SAFE here. As a neurodivergent invisibly-disabled queer person, I know what it feels like to mask or hide feelings out of fear or worry of being an “inconvenience.” So I am going to say it again: Your feelings are safe here. 🖤

Being trauma-informed and practiced in mindfulness, hard emotions are considered in the planning of each workshop for those just-in-case moments. 🖤
 

Though there is one difficulty to my workshops that even I can’t change… All mediums must be permanent/non-erasable!

…

Did I say, “can’t”? I meant, “won’t”! 😁🖤

I find that when mistakes can not be erased, this is where feelings start to emerge. It was through issuing the same challenge to myself that I was able to heal my inner artist. realize the barriers that had gotten in my way, address them, and decimate the artist’s-block and deep imposter-syndrome that had overtaken me as a creative. I haven’t erased a single thing since December 20th, 2019.

Now, over five years later, I’d like to share with you what those mistakes gave me: Joy.🖤
