This 3-week series will focus on many basic alcohol ink techniques with an emphasis on creating abstracts art with a floral twist. Students will experiment with compressed air, puffers, saran/bubble wrap, stencils, gel pens, and a wide array of colorful alcohol ink.

Instructor will provide demonstrations and will give lots of one-on-one assistance so that each student will progress over the three classes and ultimately come away with new skills and a love of this special medium.

Final project will be a 5” × 7” floral masterpiece ready for framing in a 8” × 10” mat. No experience necessary, but this class pairs well with an Intro to Alcohol workshop if you have already taken one.

Materials fee of $35 included in the price.

You care for others - this space is here to nurture YOU.

Welcome to The Creative Oasis, a weekly gathering for those who give care to others and share the heart of service: therapists, social workers, healthcare providers, clergy, teachers, veterans, caregivers—anyone in the helping or healing professions (whether you're currently serving or retired).

The Creative Oasis offers a chance for you to pause, connect, and restore in community with others who “get” the unique challenges of your work. Each week, we offer a different creative theme or project, and you’ll be able to experiment with a variety of art materials and approaches. Past sessions have explored mixed media collaging, watercolor painting, flower pressing, alcohol inks, and much more. All materials are provided, and you're welcome to join us whenever your schedule allows.

Occasionally, we'll offer special feature classes (noted in the title description for that week) to introduce new techniques that can deepen your creative experience.

No artistic experience necessary— Come as you are.

Our intention is to co-create a safe space where you can simply create, explore, and unwind.

You can choose to follow our gentle prompts and guidance, or use the time as an open studio to work on your own creative projects. Whether you're looking to try something new or tap into a passion, this is a judgment-free zone where you can't do it "wrong."

Feel free to approach this time as 'preventative maintenance' for your soul or as an opportunity to connect with kindred professionals. However you choose to view your experience, we offer a gentle reminder: caring for yourself is just as vital as caring for others.

If you're ready to nurture your creative soul, The Creative Oasis awaits you. We can’t wait to welcome you!

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.

ACTIVITY: Soul Conversations, Story Sharing

Gratitude as Witnessing: A Women’s Story Circle at Blooming Peace Studio

Gratitude is more than saying thank you. It’s an act of seeing—and of being seen. Join us for a soul-nourishing women’s circle where we’ll explore gratitude as a form of witnessing: the quiet, powerful ways we recognize each other’s worth, hold space for each other’s stories, and honor the unseen strengths in ourselves.

Through storytelling, reflective writing, and shared conversation, we’ll ask:

• Who has truly seen me?

• Whose presence or kindness changed my path?

• How can gratitude deepen when I slow down and bear witness to the ordinary and the overlooked?

Together, we’ll create space to express unspoken thank-yous, name what we’ve carried silently, and reflect back to one another the beauty we so often forget to claim.

Come as you are. Leave feeling seen, grounded, and grateful.

Deadline to register is 8/6. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

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.

Perhaps your mind is constantly chattering—caught in past regrets or worries about the future. Meanwhile, the present moment quietly slips by, unnoticed.

What would it feel like to press pause on that mental noise and truly experience the quiet of now? And what might your experience of this moment look like if it were recorded with ink on paper?

In this workshop, you’ll explore an art practice rooted in Zen, using only ink, brush, and paper. Through this simple yet profound method, you'll cultivate awareness by allowing a brush loaded with ink to move freely across the page—an expression of presence in motion.

No prior experience with meditation or art is needed. You already have everything you need—in one stroke of the brush.

Please register by 7/17. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

You care for others - this space is here to nurture YOU.

Welcome to The Creative Oasis, a weekly gathering for those who give care to others and share the heart of service: therapists, social workers, healthcare providers, clergy, teachers, veterans, caregivers—anyone in the helping or healing professions (whether you're currently serving or retired).

The Creative Oasis offers a chance for you to pause, connect, and restore in community with others who “get” the unique challenges of your work. Each week, we offer a different creative theme or project, and you’ll be able to experiment with a variety of art materials.

Occasionally, we'll offer special feature classes (noted in the title description for that week) to introduce new techniques that can deepen your creative experience.

No artistic experience necessary— Come as you are.

Our intention is to co-create a safe space where you can simply create, explore, and unwind.

You can choose to follow our gentle prompts and guidance, or use the time as an open studio to work on your own creative projects. Whether you're looking to try something new or tap into a passion, this is a judgment-free zone where you can't do it "wrong."

Feel free to approach this time as 'preventative maintenance' for your soul or as an opportunity to connect with kindred professionals. However you choose to view your experience, we offer a gentle reminder: caring for yourself is just as vital as caring for others.

If you're ready to nurture your creative soul, The Creative Oasis awaits you. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Please register by 7/16. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

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.

Join us for a gentle, trauma-sensitive movement practice followed by mindful creative expression in this embodiment workshop. The first half hour will guide you through invitational movement and breathing, with an emphasis on listening to your own body. The second half invites you into a meditative art-making experience, encouraging creative expression in a non-judgmental space.

No prior yoga or art experience necessary!—just an open mind and willingness to explore your creative flow. This workshop is open to all people regardless of age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, body type, and physical ability.*

Everything is optional: feel free to engage in the movement, art, or both—your choice, your pace. We emphasize self-compassion and non-attachment to the outcome, letting creativity unfold naturally. This is a space for self-connection, nonjudgmental exploration, and the growth of agency.

The movement practice is based on TCTSY trauma-sensitive yoga, focused on internal awareness, breath, and movement rather than external performance. We believe that you are the expert of your own body. All activities are designed with your preferences in mind, and there are no physical hands-on adjustments. Chairs, cushions, and limited mats are available. You’re welcome to bring your own mat if desired.

The facilitator will reach out to new participants for a brief conversation to answer any questions about the movement portion of the workshop. All art supplies are provided.

*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. Participants much register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building.

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.
