I've ALWAYS LOVED making art!
But with parenthood and the busy-ness of life - responsibilities became many. My brushes and paints went away in a box and I was feeling a bit lost...like something was missing.​
WHISPERS OF GUIDANCE
The urge to push paint internally nudging me.
The question...'What if...?' rolling around in my head.
I believe the Universe (God) speaks to us in this way. Planting inspirational sparks that are not accidental. Leading us through persistent ideas and passions.
'Maybe I could set up my easel and just get everything ready'. And so it sat quietly waiting for me behind a closed door for just the right time - when babies napped, or I might steal some moments. Those small moments were just what my soul needed.....
I was making art - slowing down into a calming flow state and beginning to feel like myself again!
Making art offers a pathway to emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being - just through the simple act of creating. It’s not about making something perfect; it’s about being present with the process. When we create without judgment, the body and mind begin to soften, allowing emotions to surface, move, and gently transform.
JOIN A CREATIVE CIRCLE
Engaging in art-making activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s natural “rest and repair” state—helping to reduce stress, regulate emotions, and restore balance. In this space of creativity, healing can unfold from the inside out.
My name is Lyndsay. I'm a Therapeutic Arts Practitioner. My focus is on guiding you through the process of creating - not to create something perfect, but to create for self-expression and simply the joy of making art.
After establishing a regular art practice for myself, I have felt a recurring pull to create space and opportunity to connect with other women who may benefit in this same way. A space for those who feel busy, or struggle to make time for something new (even if it's good for them!) A space to create without judgement, to create art as self-care, as mindfulness and as connection.
This is what Heart Guided Art is about.
​A creative space for women to gather, connect and recharge. A blank canvas & the opportunity to show up and experiment in whatever way feels best. No art experience required and all supplies provided for you.
Reconnect with your body
& rediscover joy through creativity.
This is a therapeutic arts experience, not clinical therapy. Designed to focus on creative wellness and mindfulness for all levels - no art background required.
