Hungry Goddess Women's Retreat
Ignite your appetite and nourish your soul with Come As You Are Art Therapy’s very first women’s retreat!
This is an intimate therapeutic retreat combining artmaking, creative writing/ journaling, mindfulness, and movement, all while leaving plenty of room (physically and energetically) for connection to nature, to self, and to others.
Season of Abundance Series
This 5-week art therapy workshop series is dedicated to helping you get clarity surrounding what is that you would like to sow, nurture, and ultimately manifest in the coming seasons. Spring has sprung! The bees are buzzing, chickens are a cluckin’, and it’s our chance to get our hands dirty after a long Winter’s rest.
Register for individual workshops or bundle and save!
This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in utilizing art within a therapeutic setting but has reservations about committing to therapy at this time.
Hungry Goddess Workshop Series
This workshop is for anyone who identifies as a woman. Its purpose is to offer a space to explore how we, as individuals, may disconnect from, abandon, or reject our true selves. This 5 week workshop series is intended to help participants reclaim their sense of intimacy, sensuality, and personal power.
Groove & Glow
This creative workshop is designed to help you and your partner connect in an intimate, playful, & nonverbal way.
Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, groove to funk, soul, & RnB from the 70s-present, and take turns painting with non-toxic, glow-in-the-dark body paint under blacklight! Massage therapist Devante Williams of Renew Stretch Therapy will set the mood of the event with a demonstration of couple’s massage techniques for you and your partner to learn & practice.
Taking Root
Have you ever considered how canceling that dinner engagement because work was particularly exhausting that day or wearing what made you feel the most comfortable and confident as a form of self-love? As mundane as these choices may seem, they’re in service to your highest good because they’re honoring you, however and wherever you are, authentically.
This workshop is dedicated to you, tapping into your truest self, at your root, giving yourself what, in my opinion, are two of the most precious gifts you could offer anyone- your time and attention.
Intuitive Collage - In Person
In this workshop, participants will be guided through an intuitive collage process. The process itself is one that is fairly simple, requiring very few materials, yet one that has the potential to gift its creator with valuable insight and personal awareness.
Tricks to Treat Yourself - In Person
The stresses of daily life can accumulate (with no help from a global pandemic), and if the residual weight of these worries is left unattended, we can find ourselves burned-out, apathetic, irritable, and, in some cases, even physically ill. This workshop invites you to put the outside world on ‘pause’, to take the necessary time for self-reflection, and consider what it is that you may need at this point in time.
Window to the Soul - Online
Based on the ancient practice of the Maori people, native to New Zealand, this group will focus on individuals creating their own Maori drawing, exploring universal as well as personal symbolism that reflects your inner wisdom, bringing forth your own guidance into your conscious awareness. Traditionally, this was done annually, on or around an individual’s birthday, or in the Summer season. The purpose of such a drawing was to help identify where one has come from, where they are in the present, and where they’re going. This online workshop is offered the first weekend in October to serve as a “farewell” to the Summer, making way for what’s to come.
Holding Light and Shadow - Online
$0.00
This free, online workshop is in celebration of the Autumnal Equinox, when the sun and moon illuminate the sky for the same length of time in the Northern Hemisphere. Similar to Spring, Autumn reminds us of change and what it means to exist in a transitory, liminal space. (As the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus stated, “The only constant is change.”) This equal opportunity for day and night as well as the sun entering the sign of Libra, often depicted by a scale, calls us to examine both the ‘light’ and the ‘dark’ of our lives in search of balance.
As the Summer heat wanes, allowing cooler temperatures to settle-in, and we begin to retreat indoors, our focus tends to be on comfort and our immediate environment (externally as well as internally). Historically, the seasons carry inherent themes and metaphor. Autumn, for example, is a time to savor and reflect on all that we’ve ‘harvested’ in the last year as well as that which we hope to release. This workshop is dedicated to holding space for both, the ‘light’, the ‘dark’, and all the reds, oranges, and yellows in-between.

pen or pencil
two pieces of paper (8 1/2”x 11” or larger, cardstock/ construction paper is recommended)
