🌿🎨 Community & Canvas – A Peer Support Art Group 🎨🌿

Looking for a space to breathe, create, and connect with people who get it?
You’re invited to Community & Canvas, a peer-led support group designed to nurture mental well-being through art, conversation, and community.

Led by Amanda McNamara, this group offers a safe, judgment-free space (18+), where you can show up exactly as you are. Art supplies are included — just bring yourself and your willingness to create or simply be present.

If you’ve been craving connection, grounding, or a gentle place to land… this is for you. 💛

✨GIVEAWAY TIME✨
Because sometimes mental health needs a splash of color, a dash of weird, and a page to spill it all out on.

Hi, I’m Amanda McNamara — artist, CEO, and proud weirdo behind Monarch Creative Ink, where I turn color theory into tools for emotional well-being. My journals aren’t about perfection; they’re about expression, healing, and finding peace one word (or scribble) at a time.

To celebrate how far Monarch has come — and to keep building this community of feelers, dreamers, and thinkers — I’m giving away a Monarch Journal Kit! 🎨🦋

The Journal Kit Includes :
📖 The Second Edition : Ink & Hue Self-Awareness Journal
✏️ A pack of colored pencils
🖼️ Assortment of Encouraging and Funny Stickers
🧘 Inspirational Cards
⁉️ A Random Surprise !

Here’s how to enter:
1️⃣ Like Monarch’s page
2️⃣ Like this post
3️⃣ Tag a friend who could use a gentle creative reset, who just gets you or a member of your tribe!

That’s it. Easy, breezy, mindful.
Giveaway closes Friday Nov 22 at midnight EST. Winner announced Saturday, Nov 23!

My goal!? To hit ☝️,😎😎😎 Likes! (1,000)

And hey — thank you for being here. Whether you’ve been quietly watching Monarch soar or just stumbled in like, “What is this art-meets-emotion chaos?” — I see you. I appreciate you. Stay weird, stay well. 💛
