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. 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!

Please register by 1/8. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

Unleash your inner rhythm and connect with the vibrant traditions of West African music in this hands-on shekere-making workshop! The shekere, a captivating percussion instrument crafted from a gourd and adorned with a beaded net, is a staple in many cultures in Africa and South America. In this workshop, you'll learn the essential steps to create your very own playable shekere, ready to bring unique textures and sounds to your musical explorations.

Although she doesn’t consider herself the most accomplished artist or musician, Tami has a deep passion for rhythm. For years, she made the weekly trek to NYC to study with the inspiring African percussionist Madeleine Yayodele Nelson. This transformative experience now fuels her desire to share the shekere and what she learned from Madeleine with others who may benefit from its creation and unique sounds.

What you'll learn and do:

• Gourd Preparation: Discover how to select, clean, and prepare gourds for shekere construction, ensuring proper resonance and durability.

• Netting Techniques: Master the fundamental knotting and weaving techniques required to create a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing net that holds the beads securely.

• Bead Selection & Application: Explore various types of beads, shells, or other resonant materials suitable for shekeres, and learn how to attach them effectively to the net for optimal sound.

• Finishing Touches: Understand how to properly tension the net and add any final embellishments to personalize your instrument.

• Cultural Context: Gain an appreciation for the history, cultural significance, and diverse uses of the shekere in various musical traditions.

Who is this course for?

This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in:

• Percussion and world music

• Traditional crafts and DIY projects

• Learning a new skill in a fun and creative environment

• Adding a unique, handmade instrument to their collection

No prior musical or crafting experience is necessary – just a willingness to learn and create! All materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring any personal beads, buttons, or other items you might like to use to embellish your shekere.

Unlock your creativity through words, images, and mixed media. Art Journaling is an ever-changing creative process of writing, painting, drawing, collage, and creative expression that documents your days, thoughts, gratitude, and memories with images in a way that matches your personal style. You can create a journal with only words, but it's extra fun with added images and sketches. Express yourself and experiment with all these options.

Art journaling invites you to slow down, play with materials, and discover your unique creative voice. It’s both meditative and energizing, offering a space to reflect, explore, and create something entirely your own. Your journal is your journey, and there's no 'wrong' way to express yourself. You do not need to be an artist to keep an art journal. 

Who this class is for: This class is perfect for adults of all skill levels—whether you’re a seasoned artist, a writer seeking new inspiration, or simply curious about starting a creative journaling practice. No prior experience is required; just bring an open mind and a willingness to experiment.

Any journal/sketchbook can be used, lined, blank, or dot grid (size is your choice). Bring a new or partially used journal book to class, or buy a journal here in class with thicker multimedia paper.

Please register by 1/11. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

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.

DATE: Thursdays, January 15 and February 5—A Two-Part Series

TIME: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Join us to learn the ancient art form of Kintsugi. Kintsugi means “to join with gold” in which a piece of broken pottery is repaired, and the cracks are sealed with gold lacquer. This art practice has been around since the 15th century and has recently regained popularity. You will have the opportunity to experience the process of Kintsugi first-hand and create your own painted bowl that will be both uniquely yours and which can serve as a nice decorative and conversational piece.

Along with the opportunity for creative expression, you will learn the basic philosophy and principles behind Kintsugi and Wabi Sabi. Kintsugi embraces the imperfections in life and oneself, encouraging instead self-acceptance. Wabi-Sabi finds beauty in this imperfection, recognizes change and the impermanent nature of life.

This is a two-part series with a special focus on anxiety and/or perfectionism. In this experiential learning process, you will have the opportunity to creatively work on letting go of anxiety and expectations in repairing your bowl. Supportive techniques will be provided to assist you through the process.

You will leave with an enhanced appreciation towards how objects and this art form parallel life; where beauty, value and strength can come from something broken and imperfect.

Should class become full, contact at kasiakrol17@verizon.net to be put on a list for a future class.

PLEASE NOTE: You must register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building. Our studio space is only accessible by way of stairs, with a railing.

Step onto the tranquil arboretum grounds of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, and let the landscape guide you inward.  Each month at Blooming Peace, we blend a mindful outdoor walk with a hands‑on nature-based expressive art practice, turning the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature into a personal creative practice.

Who? - Anyone seeking a deeper connection to body, mind, and the natural world is welcome. The space is inclusive and rooted in the belief that nature’s rhythms can help us attune to our own.

Cultivate:

• Embodied Awareness – Notice breath, sensations, emotions, in a supportive, mindful setting.

• Mind‑Body Flow – Channel the experience of your outdoor exploration directly into a piece of expressive art.

• Creative Renewal – Using natural materials sparks fresh ideas and playful experimentation

• Community & Belonging – Shared walks and studio time foster genuine connections

• Increased Well‑Being – Research shows that mindful exposure to green-space combined with artistic expression can reduce stress and lift mood.

How the session flows

1. Centering Moment –brief guided meditation that grounds you in the body and opens the senses.

2. Exploratory Nature Walk – Wander the arboretum in community with others, sharing thoughts or simply soaking in the beauty of the scenery. Solo moments are encouraged for quiet reflection and gathering natural inspiration (leaves, twigs, stones, feathers, etc.).

3. Studio Creation – Back in Blooming Peace’s bright studio, you’ll transform any collected elements and/or studio supplies into the month’s themed expressive‑arts project. All materials, tools, and guidance are provided.    

4. Closing Circle – Share insights, reflect, and celebrate each other’s work.

Changing Monthly Theme – Each session introduces a new nature‑based project that reflects the season’s energy.

Rain or Shine – Inclement weather shifts the event indoors while preserving the spirit of the walk. Comfortable, sturdy shoes, water, and layered clothing are recommended.

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. 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!

Please register by 1/22. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

FACILITATOR: Becky Gallagher

Unlock your creativity through words, images, and mixed media. Art Journaling is an ever-changing creative process of writing, painting, drawing, collage, and creative expression that documents your days, thoughts, gratitude, and memories with images in a way that matches your personal style. You can create a journal with only words, but it's extra fun with added images and sketches. Express yourself and experiment with all these options.

Art journaling invites you to slow down, play with materials, and discover your unique creative voice. It’s both meditative and energizing, offering a space to reflect, explore, and create something entirely your own. Your journal is your journey, and there's no 'wrong' way to express yourself. You do not need to be an artist to keep an art journal. 

Who this class is for: This class is perfect for adults of all skill levels—whether you’re a seasoned artist, a writer seeking new inspiration, or simply curious about starting a creative journaling practice. No prior experience is required; just bring an open mind and a willingness to experiment.

Any journal/sketchbook can be used, lined, blank, or dot grid (size is your choice). Bring a new or partially used journal book to class, or buy a journal here in class with thicker multimedia paper.

Please register by 1/25. 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.

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

THIS WEEK’S SPECIAL FEATURE: Vision Boards for the Soul

What will you create in 2026? In this two-hour expressive arts workshop for helping professionals, healers, and caregivers, we’ll go beyond traditional New Year’s goals and resolutions and explore our inner hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Perhaps life is asking you to slow down, to be more fully present with others, to speak your mind, or to cultivate your creative gifts… The possibilities are limitless!

Participants will be invited to reflect on the past year, set intentions for the year ahead, and discover inspired messages to guide the way forward. Through gentle guided reflection, small group discussion, and open studio time for creative expression, each participant will create a mixed media collage “vision board” illustrating their unique vision. All sharing is by invitation and not required. Art materials will be provided, and no prior artistic experience is necessary. 

The Creative Oasis is 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).

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

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.

Join us for a gentle, trauma-sensitive yoga 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. Some examples of past creative expressive practices have included intuitive collage, nature mandalas, and touch drawings.

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 register by 2/7. 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. This week’s SPECIAL FEATURE is Papercutting Valentine’s Day Cards.

Valentine cards date back to the early 1800’s. Inspired by German folk art, these cards were designed with pin pricks or to look lacy. Over time the designs evolved to full out papercuts. In this session you will see some historical examples and create your own cards using either templates or your very own design!

The Creative Oasis is 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).

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.

No artistic experience necessary— Come as you are.

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

Additional $15 supply fee paid to facilitator covers all supplies.

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.

Step onto the tranquil arboretum grounds of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, and let the landscape guide you inward.  Each month at Blooming Peace, we blend a mindful outdoor walk with a hands‑on nature-based expressive art practice, turning the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature into a personal creative practice.

Who? - Anyone seeking a deeper connection to body, mind, and the natural world is welcome. The space is inclusive and rooted in the belief that nature’s rhythms can help us attune to our own.

Cultivate:

• Embodied Awareness – Notice breath, sensations, emotions, in a supportive, mindful setting.

• Mind‑Body Flow – Channel the experience of your outdoor exploration directly into a piece of expressive art.

• Creative Renewal – Using natural materials sparks fresh ideas and playful experimentation

• Community & Belonging – Shared walks and studio time foster genuine connections

• Increased Well‑Being – Research shows that mindful exposure to green-space combined with artistic expression can reduce stress and lift mood.

How the session flows

1. Centering Moment –brief guided meditation that grounds you in the body and opens the senses.

2. Exploratory Nature Walk – Wander the arboretum in community with others, sharing thoughts or simply soaking in the beauty of the scenery. Solo moments are encouraged for quiet reflection and gathering natural inspiration (leaves, twigs, stones, feathers, etc.).

3. Studio Creation – Back in Blooming Peace’s bright studio, you’ll transform any collected elements and/or studio supplies into the month’s themed expressive‑arts project. All materials, tools, and guidance are provided.    

4. Closing Circle – Share insights, reflect, and celebrate each other’s work.

Changing Monthly Theme – Each session introduces a new nature‑based project that reflects the season’s energy.

Rain or Shine – Inclement weather shifts the event indoors while preserving the spirit of the walk. Comfortable, sturdy shoes, water, and layered clothing are recommended.

ACTIVITY: Body Image Discussion and Creative Expression

This class will be held twice monthly on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00.

Everyone’s relationship with their body is unique. Our feelings about our bodies are often layered, shifting, and hard to put into words. This circle is for anyone who’s wrestling with thoughts about appearance—whether you’ve had weight‑loss surgery, are navigating an eating‑disorder journey, or simply notice the way you see yourself in the mirror.

How it works

• Participants are invited to share at their own pace, with a gentle invitation to speak when they feel ready.

• Only one voice speaks at a time, and we hold space without judgment or advice—just listening and caring.

As a person with body-image issues, I know and understand the feelings and struggles of having no place to go with it. This group will create a place for people to listen, talk, share, and find out they are not alone. The intention for this group is that people will be able to make genuine connections and feel the comfort of a supportive community.

Creative Expression

If you’d like, you can draw or paint anything that reflects how you feel about your body—abstract shapes, realistic sketches, or anything in between. Making or sharing your artwork is completely optional; you decide what feels right. Afterward, we’ll have a brief moment for anyone who wants to talk about their creative process and what it brought up for them.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a substitute for therapy, so please reach out to a therapist or medical provider if you are experiencing ongoing mental and/or physical health challenges. You must register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building. Our studio space is only accessible by way of stairs with a railing.

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.
