Last Lab Time of 2026 | All Are Welcome | December 13, 2025

As we move toward the close of the year, many of us feel the quiet pull toward our creative lives, even when the days fill quickly and the weeks move fast. Lab Time is a space to answer that pull with intention. It is a simple, spacious virtual studio where you can show up for your practice in the company of others who are doing the same. 🌿

There is no assignment to complete and nothing to perform. These ninety minute sessions are designed to help you settle in, listen to what wants to emerge, and work with any medium that supports your expression. You might draw, paint, write, move, sew, or explore a creative thread you have been wanting to follow. 🎨✍️💃🧵

Lab Time is offered by donation and held with care. It is perfect for anyone who wants a gentle structure to help make space for their art before the year ends. 🤲

The final session of 2025 happens:
Saturday, December 13 from 1 to 2:30 pm ET

I would love to create alongside you during one of these gatherings. If you would like to attend, just DM me or comment below to RSVP.

As we move toward the holiday season, gratitude is on everyone’s mind. Yet for many of us, this time of year can bring mixed emotions. We might feel thankful for what is good in our lives while also holding sadness, grief, or loneliness. Both can be true at the same time. 🌿💛

In my latest blog post, I explore how to honor the full range of your feelings without forcing gratitude or bypassing what needs attention. Creativity, embodiment, and honest reflection can help you hold the complexity of being human. 🎨✨

Do you ever feel the pull to create, but the hours slip by before you even open the paint, the notebook, the sketch pad, the song, the movement?

You’re not alone. Creativity isn’t gone. It’s waiting. And sometimes all it needs is a container to finally breathe.

That’s what Lab Time is; a shared virtual studio where you show up for yourself alongside others doing the same. No assignments. No pressure. No finished product required.

Just 90 minutes of intentional creating with gentle community energy to hold the space.

Bring what whispers to you:
🎨 paint or collage
✍️ journaling or poetry
🎧 music or sound
💃 movement or somatics
🧵 sewing, beading, crafting
or something brand new you want to try

This is your permission slip to say: Yes, my creative life matters too.

Lab Time is by donation, pay what you can. Community supported, heart centered, process over perfection.

Ready to carve out space for yourself?

More than ever, it feels like time (whether you live in the US or not) to find a creative outlet. Lately I've been using writing as a source of release, to gather insight and to find inspiration. Writing can offer the opportunity to listen to the body's discomfort, to expel fear, anxiety, rage, and explore our stories from past and present.

If you are feeling...
- overstimulated and inundated with information
- clogged up with too many thoughts, worries and fears
- your body is exhibiting unusual aches and pains
- and/or you simply need some more time to organize your inner experience...

I encourage you to carve out some time to write in the coming days and weeks ahead. Even 5-10 minutes of writing can make a significant difference in your day.

I've recently picked up Natalie Goldberg's classic book, 'Writing Down the Bones'. This book is chock full of wisdom about creativity and writing.

I wrote about some tips that are in part taken from her suggestions in my blog post "Write it Out – Release the Fears and Wild Thoughts" which you can find here: https://art-cures.com/write-it-out-release-the-fears-and-wild-thoughts/
