Bloom & Brush: A Painting Journey with Plant Spirit Wisdom
Spring is the season of becoming—of unfurling, awakening, and blooming into new truths.
In this upcoming painting series, we’ll explore the gentle guidance of plant allies—each flower holding a message to support your transformation.
In every class, we’ll focus on one plant and its energetic theme: Dandelion (release), Yarrow (boundaries), Sunflower (confidence), Calendula (communication)... and more.
Through guided Intentional Creativity®, journaling, and playful brushwork, you’ll be invited to connect with the spirit of each flower and express its message on the canvas in your own unique way.
SOMA Sessions
Short-format classes (2-4 hrs) are designed to spark insight and creativity.
Great for first-time students or returning students seeking a creative refresh.
​
We typically use watercolor paint or pencils, soft pastels, or acrylics on watercolor paper.
Each class description includes specific details about the materials we’ll be working with.
Materials are provided unless otherwise noted.
SOMA Day Retreats
Full-Day or Multi-Day Creative Immersions
Soma Day Retreats are intentionally designed to support deeper exploration through
painting, journaling, and guided reflection.​
In these full-day (6–8 hours) or multi-day (1–3 days) workshops, you will focus on a meaningful theme, such as release, intention, or reconnecting with your inner wisdom, while moving through a 13-step Intentional Creativity painting process.
​​
We’ll work on canvas using acrylic paints, creating space to move through each layer with presence and purpose.
​​
These sessions invite you to relax, tune in, and express yourself in a supportive, creative environment. You’ll leave with a completed painting and meaningful personal insight.
​
All materials are provided unless noted.
No experience is needed—just a willingness to explore.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
CLIENT Love
"I never thought I could paint—but now I can't get enough. Lisa's workshop was unique, healing, and so much fun. I still find myself staring at my Muse painting, discovering what she wants to say. Lisa was amazing—she showed me how to express what was in my mind through the brush. I can't wait to join another workshop!"
-Devon.
"Lisa's workshops bring such calm and clarity. Her loving guidance makes the process accessible to everyone—no matter your experience. I've worked with her several times and always leave feeling more connected to myself and my creative voice."
-Denise.
"Sunday morning healing session. I loved being inspired by Lisa. I had no idea what this would bring out for me. You gave me such a gift. The insight, connection, and healing that came from the experience with you was a treasure. Thank you!"
