Therapeutically Crafted™

You’ve been holding a lot… and still showing up like everything is fine. You are not the problem. The pressure is.

Therapeutically Crafted™ is a six-month, in-person creative wellness experience for women of color designed to explore how perfectionism shapes the way we create, connect, and show up in our lives.

Through hands-on crafting, reflective writing, and guided community conversation, each session creates space to build self-compassion, deepen emotional awareness, and develop a new relationship with expectations… your own and everyone else’s. This is not a class. This is not therapy. This is a community of women doing the slow, meaningful work of letting go of the pressure to be perfect… together.

You don’t have to come in ready.

You can come exactly as you are.

THIS SESSION | PAJAMA BRUNCH NOV 7TH

Come comfortable. 🤎

We’re closing out the season in our pajamas with brunch bites, creativity, journaling, and conversation. Wear your favorite cozy pajamas and settle into a space designed for Black and Brown women of color to slow down, connect, and simply be.

Pajamas are encouraged, not required. Come however you feel most comfortable.

Therapeutically Crafted™ is designed for a specific community, and that intentionality matters. Please read before registering:

Who this experience is for:

• Women of color — Black, Brown, and Indigenous women of color
• Ages 18+
• Women who are curious about how perfectionism shows up in their lives
• Women who are open to creative expression as a form of self-exploration
• Women who want community — not just content

What is NOT required:

• Any prior experience with crafting, art, or creative work
• Any prior experience with therapy or wellness programs
• Sharing anything personal you are not comfortable sharing
• Being "ready" — you can come exactly as you are

This isn’t about being “good” at crafting. It’s about giving yourself permission to create without needing to get it right.

You’ll design a tote bag and bag charms while using guided journal prompts to explore what you’re ready to put down and what you want to carry forward.

There’s no pressure to make something perfect or share what you write. The experience is about slowing down, getting curious, and letting creativity help you notice what’s coming up.

• Yourself, exactly as you are
• A water bottle
• A journal
• Anything that helps you feel grounded — a cozy layer, your favorite pen, a small comfort item.
• Everything else is provided: all craft materials, journaling prompts, and light refreshments.

Info: Arrive, settle in, and connect with the community. Light refreshments available. Time to browse materials and get comfortable in the space.

Info: We open every session together. A grounding moment, a breathing exercise, and a brief check-in question to bring everyone present. The facilitator introduces the month's theme and how it connects to the broader journey of Progress Over Perfection. Short educational piece (Inner Critics, self-compassion frameworks, body awareness, etc.)

Info: Hands-on creative activity led by the month's partner artist. No experience needed — this is about process, not product. Materials are provided.

Info: Guided journaling prompts connected to the session's theme. Private reflection time with optional soft music. You keep your journal — nothing is shared unless you choose to.

Info: Open, facilitated group discussion. A space to share, witness, and be witnessed. Participation is always optional. A brief collective closing — one word, one intention, or one takeaway. How we end matters as much as how we begin.

Info: Informal time to connect, continue conversations, and enjoy the space before heading out.
