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!

A gentle, early‑spring journaling practice focused on noticing subtle shifts, quiet awakenings, and the first hints of renewal. This session invites participants to tune into the small, almost‑hidden signs of change—both in nature and within themselves.

Discover the joy of Art Journaling — a creative, mixed‑media practice that blends writing, drawing, painting, collage, and personal expression. This class teaches you how to use words and images to document your days, explore your thoughts, and build a meaningful creative routine. Whether you want to reduce stress, spark inspiration, or develop a consistent journaling habit, Art Journaling offers a flexible and accessible way to express yourself.

In this workshop, you’ll learn simple techniques for daily, weekly, and monthly journaling, making it easy to fit creativity into any schedule. You’ll experiment with pens, paints, collage materials, and more as you discover your unique artistic style. Art journaling is both meditative and energizing — a grounding practice that supports emotional well‑being, mindfulness, and self‑reflection. No artistic experience is required; every page is an opportunity to explore and play.

Who This Class Is For

Perfect for adults of all skill levels — beginners, seasoned artists, writers, and anyone looking for a creative outlet that supports mental wellness and personal growth. If you’re curious about mixed‑media art, mindful creativity, or starting a journaling practice, this class is for you.

What to Bring

Any journal or sketchbook works: lined, blank, or dot grid in the size you prefer. Bring one from home or purchase a multimedia journal in class for thicker paper that supports paint and collage

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.

“It’s so hard to think in winter. The world seems confined in the space of your heart; you can’t see beyond yourself.”—Patricia A. McKillip

What to Expect

• Purpose—Find connection and respite with like-minded adults and foster a sense of community, reducing the feelings of isolation and stress through restorative experiences.

• Activities—Engage in creative activities like writing and visual arts, and more to explore and process themes related to seasonal stress and discover new perspectives of hope and perseverance . Sharing with others is optional and not required.

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 3/7. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

Step into a creative space where the spirit of spring inspires both your art and your reflections. “Spring Blossoms” is a gentle, uplifting session designed to celebrate the energy of renewal and the beauty of blooming. Through the meditative process of mandala-making, you’ll explore floral symmetry, pastel gradients, and expressive dotting techniques that evoke the freshness and joy of the season.

Guided by Becky Gallagher, you’ll explore the meditative process of mandala dot painting while decorating a 4" wooden coaster. This experience is inspired by spring—each piece becomes a reflection of your unique journey.

No prior art experience is needed. All are welcome.

 What to Expect

• Gentle, step-by-step guidance in mandala dot painting techniques

• An introduction to all tools and materials

• Tips for color harmony, pattern planning, and finishing touches

• All supplies provided for class: 4" wood coaster, vibrant acrylic paints, dotting tools, and protective sealant

This Experience Is For

• Adults seeking a mindful, artistic experience

• Anyone interested in learning a new craft or making a unique holiday decoration or home decoration

• Those looking to relax, socialize, and express themselves creatively

By the end of the class, you’ll take home:

• A beautifully painted coaster for yourself or to gift

Come as you are—bring your curiosity, and let’s create together.

No prior painting experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and enjoy the process! Bring a friend for extra fun!

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.

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 once 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.

ACTIVITY: Soul Conversations & Story Sharing

As the first signs of spring begin to appear, you’re invited to The Soul Garden, a reflective seasonal gathering at Blooming Peace Studio.

Spring has long been a time of transition—a moment when light and dark come back into balance and the earth begins to stir again. At this stage of life, many of our roots are already well established. We’ve lived through seasons of growth and change, steadiness and uncertainty. This evening offers a gentle space to pause and consider what feels grounded and strong, what may have shifted over time, and what we might like to nurture as a new season unfolds.

We’ll begin with a meditative walk through the labyrinth on the grounds of St. Thomas, allowing the rhythm of walking to create space for reflection. The evening will also include a simple creative expression element honoring the coming of spring, offering a quiet, hands-on way to engage with the themes of the season.

As we gather in the circle, we’ll use the garden as a metaphor for our inner lives—exploring what feels rooted and steady, what may need tending, and the seeds we are choosing to cultivate in the months ahead.

Join us for an evening of reflection, connection, and thoughtful conversation as we welcome the turning of the season together.

Deadline to register is 3/16. 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.

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.

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

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.

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 from breaking you bowl to creating a new, 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.

Gain appreciation towards how objects and this art form parallel life; where beauty, value and strength can come from something broken and imperfect.

No artistic skills needed. Price includes instruction and cost of art supplies.

Please register by 4/12. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available. Space is limited, so early sign up is recommended. Should class become full, contact us via the website or kasiakrol17@verizon.net to be put on a list for a future class.

(Blooming) Peace, Love & ’70s Pop Art Brunch

Step into a relaxed, feel-good morning inspired by the bright pop sounds of the 1970s — where art supplies are waiting, the coffee is hot, and the chorus is never far away.

Among the artists we’ll be singing along with are The Partridge Family, Jackson 5, Barry Manilow, Bee Gees, ABBA, The Carpenters, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Donny Osmond, Gladys Knight & the Pips — and plenty of your other favorite ’70s hits.

As the playlist rolls, you’ll paint, collage, and explore bold, graphic color in a relaxed studio setting — channeling that bold, graphic ’70s pop-art style. Peace signs, hearts, patterns, layered imagery — wherever your imagination leads. There’s no right way to create. Just music, color, and a room full of art materials. And yes — brunch will be served so you can munch, while you make and mingle.

Please register by 4/23. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.

Several glass colors and combos will be available to choose your own preferred color palette. Once assembled the entire mosaic will be grouted to complete the project before you take it home.

FACILITATORS: Cynthia Kreilick and Daune Marie

GROUP SIZE: Registration is limited to 8 participants to keep the group small

AGE-RELATED REQUIREMENTS: Ages 18+

Life is full of things that rise and fall, flourish and decay, bloom, wither and die away. Local author Cynthia Rafetto Kreilick uses her book The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town to explore how we care for people and things in times of vitality and decline, and how we process the emotions that grip us. Cynthia wrote The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town as a tribute and a catharsis, watching her elderly mother and her home of 62 years decline with age. Her daughter, Alyssa Kreilick, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), illustrated the story. Following the reading and discussion, participants create artwork, using mixed media, that prompt conversation about their own tools for processing grief and healing the heart. Participants receive a complimentary copy of Cynthia and Alyssa’s book.

Please register by 5/26. Sign up soon, space is limited. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if any spots have opened up.

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

It’s that time of year when brooms are in season. You can’t fly around on these, but you can clean up your messes or give them as gifts.. For centuries brooms have filled multiple needs such as function, ritual and decoration. Join in the fun of this heritage handicrafts and make 2 whisk brooms, a traditional Appalachian turkey wing and a hawk wing. We will be using authentic broomcorn to make our brooms. To practice we will begin with a small broom for dusting crumbs off the table, cleaning mushrooms or silk from corn. This will give you a sense of what it’s like to wrap a broom tightly, so it does not come apart. Next you will move on to the more complex brooms. We will be using fall colors to wrap the brooms.

Please note that moderate hand and wrist strength is a must for this class.
