🎨 The Creative Flow
You’ll be gently guided through intuitive watercolor prompts inspired by:
Seeds, roots, and underground growth
Personal rituals that bring you back to yourself
The qualities you want to tend to throughout the year
We’ll gather in Ruya’s outdoor patio space, where wooden tables, open air, and golden winter sunlight create a relaxed, grounding atmosphere for painting and reflection. If the weather shifts, we’ll move inside Ruya’s warm, cozy coffee shop.
You’re welcome to paint, journal, pause, or simply sit with your materials.
Enjoy coffee, tea, or wine from Ruya as you create in a space intentionally designed for ease, presence, and connection.
🌱 What’s Included
All watercolor supplies (paints, brushes, paper)
Guided creative and reflection prompts
A calm, cozy environment for slowing down
Photo & video content of the experience
Your own watercolor piece(s) to take home as a seasonal marker
This is a content-first experience. My team and I will capture moments from the gathering so you can remain fully present. Afterward, you’ll receive a private gallery with photos and short video clips to remember the experience or share if you wish.
🪞 Why This Matters
So much of the New Year asks us to rush forward. Art + Healing gatherings offer something different: a space to pause, listen inward, and reconnect with your own rhythm.
This is an invitation to begin the year gently, trusting that what you tend now will bloom in its own time.
💛 What to Bring
Yourself
Comfortable clothing
Curiosity and openness
A journal if you’d like to write more extended thoughts
