DATE: Sunday, May 18, 2025

TIME: 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

FACILITATOR: Ashley Sonson and Daune Marie

In these 1 ½ hour weekly classes, we invite gentle, invitational, trauma-sensitive movement and mindful awareness for the first half hour before transitioning into exploring creative techniques such as collage, painting, or writing, etc. for the last hour.

No previous yoga or art experience necessary! The movement practice is open to all people regardless of age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, body type, and physical ability.*

All activities can be geared to the participants and their preferences.  All activities are by invitation, not demand.  For example, you may decide not to participate in the movement practice. Or, you may want to continue to explore movement on your own as others move into the art activity –it’s always your choice, and your choice is welcome!

More about the movement— The practice is based on TCTSY trauma-sensitive yoga, which invites the exploration of body-based yoga forms and breathing practices with invitational language.  It emphasizes your internal experience, not on how a movement looks or “doing it right” for the facilitator or anyone else.  

We believe each person is the expert of their own body, and there are no physical hands-on adjustments. All movement is invitational. Participants are welcome to use a chair or a mat as they prefer.  The facilitator will reach out to new participants for a brief conversation to answer any questions about the movement portion of the class.

More about the art— Creating something without judgment or attachment to the outcome helps us build up the courage to be present and open while welcoming the unexpected because it can be hard being human! Movement and creative expression practices in a nonjudgmental environment can help with managing difficult feelings and stress, and supporting connection, self-compassion, insight, reflection, and agency.

All art supplies provided. We have limited extra mats for those interested in using them during our movement practice. You are welcome to bring your own if you would like. Chairs and cushions are available to all.

*PLEASE NOTE: Our studio space is only accessible by way of stairs with a railing. This is not a substitute for therapy, so please reach out to a therapist or medical provider if you are experiencing ongoing mental health challenges.

If this class is of interest to you but the time doesn’t fit into your schedule, please contact us via our website. Private individual sessions are available.

Deadline to register is by 5/16.

Join us for a unique and transformational creative expression practice that fosters intuition, explores choice, and combines creative narrative writing with the option of including images in a way that matches your personal style. Say it with words (and only words) through exclusive standard journaling and/or with added images in a visual art journal or larger collaged work of art. Exercise the freedom to experiment with all these options, perhaps to go outside your comfort zone to the growth edges!

This playshop offers a gentle, invitational approach to self-expression, allowing you to process and embrace all aspects of life, from the down right hard challenges to the deliriously happy stuff, and all that’s in between! Techniques and various styles will be demonstrated along with new weekly prompts to ignite your inner flame and use as a guiding light if you so choose. No matter what, this is your journey, and there’s no ‘wrong’ way to express yourself.

Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch or snacks if you want to “picnic” while you create, ponder, or wait for paint and glue to dry.

The cost of this class includes basic supplies. A variety of high-quality journals for mixed-media will also be available at an additional cost payable to the facilitator. You are welcome to bring your own as well. Please send us an email via CONTACT if you have any questions. Don’t let finances keep you from coming; instead, contact us about scholarship availability.

YOU CAN’T DO IT WRONG—YOU CAN ONLY DO IT YOUR WAY—COME PLAY!

Let’s gather to experience the joy of transforming materials and building new connections in our community mending circle. The process of mending is an opportunity to renew, reinvent and revive both our clothing and our spirits as we discover new potential in what already exists.

This month I will demonstrate the visible mending technique of sashiko embroidery, an easy style of hand stitching that uses straight lines and grids to create patterns. It is a useful technique for making patches to cover holes or stains, especially on jeans or other heavyweight fabrics. I will provide fabric samples and sewing supplies for practicing and making a patch using fabric from repurposed jeans. You can also bring your own mending project and join the circle for

conversation and inspiration.

What skills are required?

● No skills are necessary to attend.

● Whether you know how to sew or embroider or you want to learn new techniques for renewing textiles, this group is for you!

● You can experiment with the technique I am teaching or you can work on a mending project you bring with you.

Mending Manifesto

Mending is:

● Cherishing our clothing and textiles by repairing them or transforming them into new objects.

● Preserving our environment by re-using our existing resources rather than producing more textile waste and contributing to the fibershed.

● Using our hands to care for our “second skin” and nurturing the materials we inhabit.

● Tending to ourselves and our relationships as we gather together in a mending circle.

Please RSVP & Register by 6/7 so we can plan accordingly. If you missed the deadline, contact us to see if we can squeeze you in.

FACILITATOR: Emily Scheivert

Whether you're a seasoned artist or a novice eager to explore, join us for a unique two-session workshop that combines the excitement of discovering vintage furniture with the satisfaction of transforming it into a personalized masterpiece.

Session 1: Treasure Hunting at The Barn – Prep at the Studio (6/14, 9:30AM - 12:30PM)

NOTE: The Barn sale starts at 8:00 AM. Feel free to come early for extended shopping pleasure.

Our journey begins at The Barn at St. Thomas Whitemarsh, located at 7020 Camp Hill Road, Fort Washington, PA. Renowned for its extensive collection of antique, mid-century, and used furniture at affordable prices, The Barn offers a variety of unique pieces awaiting a creative touch.​

Under the guidance of Expressive Arts Facilitator, Emily Scheivert, participants will explore The Barn's offerings to select a piece of vintage furniture that resonates with them. Once chosen, the furniture will be put on a truck and transported to the nearby Blooming Peace Studio, 7002 Camp Hill Road. There the group will convene to discuss design ideas and begin the initial preparation of their pieces for painting. This includes cleaning, sanding, and priming as needed to ensure a smooth canvas for the upcoming transformation.

Session 2: Creative Transformation at Blooming Peace Studio (6/28, 2:00PM - 5:00PM)

In the second studio session you'll unleash your creativity and re-imagine your furniture piece into a personalized work of art.​ All necessary supplies, including a vibrant selection of paints and tools, will be provided by the studio. Emily will offer personalized guidance and support.

Materials: All painting supplies provided; participants are responsible for the purchase of their selected furniture piece​ or may bring a piece with them.

Deadline to register is 6/12.

Give yourself permission to rekindle your sense of freedom and the joy of playing like a 4-year-old. We will be using quick drying tempera paint and big paper to let loose and experience how transformative and healing the painting process can be. This is a great way for beginners to learn to paint as well as a way to reawaken, reset, recharge, and otherwise restimulate all artmakers who have created with other mediums and with all levels of experience. YOU CAN’T DO IT WRONG—YOU CAN ONLY DO IT YOUR WAY—COME PLAY!

This painting session is based on the teachings and methods of Aviva Gold, creator of Painting From the Source. (Reading her book by this same title prior to taking this class is recommended but not required). All art supplies will be provided.

FACILITATOR: Sue Trembeth & Pam Jameson

Take a relaxing, transformational journey in this unique, three-hour Zentangle-inspired class with a labyrinth theme. We’ll begin with a peaceful labyrinth walk, led by Pam Jameson, designed to foster self-reflection and mindfulness. Then, step into the studio with Sue Trembeth who will guide you in creating a beautiful labyrinth-inspired piece of art that symbolizes a path of inner wholeness and a pilgrimage toward your center. This experience promises to leave you feeling inspired and focused—an opportunity for personal growth through art and mindfulness.

You won’t want to miss this calming and creatively-enriching combo. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has only one path, leading to the center and back out, with no dead ends or choices. Some people view the labyrinth walk as an experience with three stages: releasing on the way in, receiving in the center, and returning on the way out. This partners well with the 8 Basic Steps of Zentangle, another meditative and stress-reducing practice, that begins with and ends with Gratitude and Appreciation.

Please bring your Zentangle Kit to class if you have one. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the facilitator for $15.00. Please send us an email via CONTACT if you have any questions. Don’t let finances keep you from coming, instead contact us about scholarship availability.

Looking for a way to unwind from stress, focus your thoughts, or explore your creative side? In this class you will learn the basics of Zentangle’s creative and relaxing method of art. By using this method, easy-to-learn repetitive patterns (called tangles) and deliberate pen strokes, you will create an abstract piece of art while entering into a relaxed and meditative state. You do NOT need to know how to draw or have previous Zentangle experience! Zentangle has the potential to deliver artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well-being.

Please bring your Zentangle Kit to class if you have one. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from the facilitator for $15.00.
