Turning Healing into Art—And Art into Everyday Magic
Join us for an evening of relaxation, creativity, and connection at The Happy Seed Gardens, where Caring Arts and nature meet to bring you a healing experience. This event is designed for anyone looking to unwind, explore mindfulness using their creative side, whether you’re a seasoned artist, never picked up a paintbrush or just curious.
Meet Liz—the creative force behind Caring Arts. Liz is a cancer survivor who has turned her personal journey into a beacon of sharing and creativity. She channels her experiences into watercolors and mark-making that isn’t just seen—it’s felt. Liz’s art is all about expression, being present, curious, and in following the inner wisdom and process.
In this fun and relaxing mindful art session, we’ll blend creativity and mark making. It’s a space where you can tap into the present moment, manage a little stress, and where creativity has no rules and is judgement free. The focus is on the journey, your own journey, not the final product.
Join us in art, tea, friendship and finding a space of calm amidst the busy world. Enjoy some snacks and get ready to let your creativity flow. You’ll have the freedom to explore, express yourself, and maybe even discover a little magic along the way.
No experience needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to have fun.
Limited space – 10 people max.
Feel free to bring some wine and take a well-deserved break. Light snacks will be provided...and tea of course!
