Community & Family Experiences
Community is at the heart of this work.
Alongside workshops and retreats, I offer accessible creative spaces designed to foster connection, reflection, and shared presence - without pressure, performance, or perfection.
These offerings are intentionally low-barrier and community-centered, creating space to gather, create, and reconnect in ways that feel grounded and human.
Offerings range from free community creative circles to guided journaling gatherings ($30) and occasional collaborative wellness events with pricing that varies.
Full details, dates, and registration are shared below and on our events page.

Community events may vary in format and focus, and can include:
Creative Sanctuary Circles
Free, open community gatherings offering a judgment-free space to create, connect, or simply be. Materials are provided, and participants are welcome to bring their own creative projects.Guided Journaling Gatherings
Low-cost, facilitated sessions using art-based journaling prompts curated by board-certified art therapists. These gatherings offer gentle structure, reflection, and emotional insight in a supportive group setting.Collaborative Wellness Events
Special offerings co-hosted with wellness practitioners or local organizations, integrating creativity with practices that support nervous system regulation, embodiment, and overall well-being.
-
These gatherings are open to adults and families who are looking for a creative outlet and a space where they can feel welcomed and at ease.
You don’t need to consider yourself an artist, writer, or “creative” to belong here. These spaces are for anyone who wants to slow down, explore creativity in their own way, and spend time in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Whether you come to create, reflect, connect with others, or simply take a pause from daily life, you are welcome here.
Monthly Community events
Guided Art journaling series
Starting June, guided art journaling at The Hive is getting a refresh. Five sessions, five themes, one intentional arc — designed to take you somewhere by October.
Each month we go a little deeper. We start by building your own color-emotion wheel, then move into mapping your emotional landscape, locating where you hold things in your body, looking at what has held you up, and finally giving yourself permission to want things again.
You can join for one session or commit to all five. Either way, you will leave with something real.
Arrive. Feel. Locate. Reclaim. Reach.
A gentle, guided journaling session held twice a month in Parker, CO.
These one-hour gatherings invite reflection through creative expression in a calm, supportive space. No art or journaling experience needed.
Saturday Morning session: All ages welcome (children 10 and under are free with an adult) Wednesday Evening session: Adults only

Upcoming Community Collaborations
A Morning of creative restoration
June 13th, 2026 | Arrowhead Acres
Date: Saturday June 13th
Location: Arrowhead Acres - 10655 E Arrowhead Ln, Parker, CO 80138
Time: 11AM - 12 Noon
A Morning of Creative Restoration is a one-hour therapeutic art experience designed for women. It's expressive, accessible, and grounded — no art experience needed, just a willingness to show up and create.
Through a layered painting process, participants are gently guided on a journey of understanding what their shadow emotions look like — and how to bring light and hope into the picture.
Every woman leaves with a finished piece to hang on her wall and a personal message of hope she wrote to herself.
The experience is designed to leave women feeling quietly restored - not overwhelmed, not over-processed. Just a little lighter than when they walked in.
Attendance is free but space is limited.
Seven Stones- Chatfield Collaboration
You arrive. You breathe. You make something with your hands — guided, at your own pace, with no pressure. Each session is two hours of being fully in one moment, one theme, one quiet creative experience.
I will guide you through. I will hold space for you. There's no wrong way to do this, no finished product you're working toward, and no experience required. Just you, the materials, and that moment.
Curiosity, not expectation. That's the only thing to bring.
This is for you if:
You're carrying something and could use a few hours of quiet, guided creative time
You've never made art before and you're curious what that's even like
You want to be around people without having to perform being okay
You're navigating a transition and want a steady, low-pressure place to reflect
The sessions
Each session stands completely on its own. Come to one, come to a few, or follow the full arc — all five together form a journey from the ground up.
June 23 - Rooted
Grounding, stability, and a sense of landing in the present moment
June 30 - Flow
Movement, ease, and allowing things to shift without force
July 7 - Holding
Care, containment, and noticing what supports us
July 14 - Strength
Steadiness, structure, and inner support
July 21 - Growth
Patience, tending, and noticing what is beginning.
Each session is $35. Complete the journey — $150 for all five. Each session stands alone, but together they form an arc: from the ground up, from stillness to movement, from carrying to growing. Save $25 with the full series bundle.
What's included: All art materials, guided facilitation, and the company of people who also chose to show up. You leave with what you made — and what that means to you.
