Calming Circles Workshop Registration

It layers. The state of the world, your health, burnout, trauma, uncertainty, caretaking. You keep trying to push through even when your body and nervous system are clearly done. Eventually it all builds until you feel like you might implode. Ask me how I know.

I’m Katie, founder of Inner Peace Art Studio, and Calming Circles was one of the very first workshops I ever designed, and it’s still one of the most popular. This workshop gives you a place to let some of that pressure out on the page, using watercolor or gouache as a calming, soothing stress-relief tool.

If you're thinking you don't have a creative bone in your body, I promise you... you do! The beauty about my classes is that you don’t need experience, steady hands, or fancy supplies.

We aren't here to spin our wheels on the end result. This is about the process and giving your nervous system a little room to breathe using watercolor and gouache inside of a creative, compassionate, and inspiring community. Learn more about Calming Circles and join us below. See you in class!

I know how lonely and exhausting it can feel to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate, especially when the world keeps asking you to do more.

You deserve a kind of healing that feels soft, real, and rooted in compassion — the kind that nurtures both your body and your spirit.

That’s why I created Inner Peace Art Studio: a cozy, accessible space where healing and creativity meet. From anywhere you are, you can slow down, exhale, and begin to feel like yourself again. Healing through art, one breath, one brushstroke, one word at a time.

Do I need specific art supplies or watercolor experience?
No. You can use any supplies you already have — watercolors, gouache, ink, markers, colored pencils, crayons, or pens all work. No prior art or watercolor experience is required. I'll be be painting with watercolors and gouache, but i always give painting modifications for other supplies.
Is this art therapy or medical treatment?
No. This is a mindful, intuitive painting workshop rooted in Arts in Health and Healing Art facilitation best practices. It is not art therapy or medical advice, and you’ll have full autonomy over your experience.
What if I’m low-energy, burned out, or dealing with chronic illness?
This class is designed specifically for overstimulated, low-energy days. The practices are gentle, flexible, and forgiving, and you’re encouraged to participate at your own pace.
Will I be able to use this again after the workshop?
Yes. You’ll learn repeatable calming circle techniques you can return to anytime you need grounding, stress relief, or a creative reset.
