This circle series came to be after women having attended the bi-monthly circles expressed the desire to delve more into their life challenges then was possible in a single circle. This series will give women that opportunity by more deeply fostering their personal growth and creative selves through guided art-making.

This is a closed group, meaning the same group of women will meet once a week at my safe, nurturing, and supportive space in Cross River’s Yellow Monkey Village. This circle series is for women at any stage or transition in life with a desire to evolve. Absolutely NO previous art experience is necessary to enjoy the benefits of this circle series.

Too much time is spent rationalizing and analyzing our life challenges on a cognitive, intellectual level. Art therapy with the community of circle, is a conduit for healing and for providing a means of connecting to unspoken aspects of ourselves on a more visceral level.
