Let’s get creative together!

I love hosting workshops and retreats and I’d love for you to join me. I think spending time being creative is excellent for mental health, plus it’s fun! You might be trying something new or you might be brushing up on an old skill … either way, it will feel good to use your hands, to think creatively, and to accomplish something.

I’m all about the journey. Some workshops are focused on learning a specific skill while others are more about spending time in a creative setting or with a creative mindset. I love providing time to experiment and the opportunity to meet other creative people. I want to share this fun time with you!

“I didn’t even know how much I needed the creative recharge I got from Christy’s workshop. I do a pretty good job of making time for my creative practice every day, so I thought I was set, but Christy brought so many new ideas and encouragement to the table (along with fun new art supplies). I would definitely recommend her workshops to any one looking for a creative boost.”

-Melissa, workshop participant

“Christy’s outdoor creativity workshop is such a delight! I so rarely get a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and tap into the playful side of creativity. This class was the perfect reminder to take time to nurture that side of myself, and she gave us helpful tools and prompts to do that!”

-Becky, workshop participant
