Soulful Art Wellness: Expressive Art Journey for Stress and Anxiety

Anxiety that will not switch off. Burnout you can feel in your shoulders. If you have been carrying something heavy, this is 90 minutes to put it down.

The Sanctuary is an intimate, guided expressive art and crystal bowl sound bath experience in Sunrise, Florida. We breathe together, let the bowls settle your nervous system, and then you give color and shape to whatever you have been holding. No painting, no technique, no critique. Just clean color in your hands and a room that is on your side.

This is not an art class, and you do not need to be an artist. Come as you are, and leave a little lighter.

Every session is capped at 20 people. intimate enough that Cláudia can guide the room. Small enough that everyone feels seen. Release does not happen in a crowd.

Please arrive by 9:45 AM to settle in. We begin promptly at 10:00 AM.

1. Arrive and ground. 10:00. We settle in and quiet the nervous system with gentle breathwork and a short grounding meditation.
2. Crystal bowl sound bath. 10:15. Sit back and relax. The bowls do the work, clearing mental noise and dropping you into stillness before you the art discovery session begins.
3. Guided creative release. 10:25. The heart of the session. Using high pigment alcohol markers, blending pencils and soft color, you are led through an intuitive exercise that gives form to what you have been holding. There is no wrong way to express yourself.
4. Reflection, always optional. 11:10. Share what came up, or sit quietly and listen. Both are completely welcome.
5. Closing reflection. 11:20. Before we leave, we pause together and reflect on the morning, what shifted and what you are taking home with you.

• The full 90 minute guided session with Cláudia
• A live crystal bowl sound bath
• Every art material you need, provided. Nothing to bring, nothing to buy.

Anyone carrying more than they can comfortably hold: stress, anxiety, or burnout. Mostly women come, and men are genuinely welcome. Zero art experience needed. Adults 18 and over.

Wear whatever you feel most relaxed in. Everything we use is dry media, so there is nothing to spill and nothing to ruin.
