We are hearing more and more about the positive effects of affirmations and intentions—thoughts we carry with us throughout the day to keep us in a mindful state. Mindfulness has been proven time and time again to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, intensify our connection to higher power, heighten creativity, and provide clarity of thought.

To inspire mindfulness, many enjoy the practice of drawing a random intention card from a deck (it’s uncanny how the chosen intention is usually spot-on for your needs each day), and spending a few moments in meditation to instil that intention in your mind for the day.

Join me for this mindful workshop where we will carefully contemplate and write our own 31 unique intentions, then create our own deck of cards using watercolour paints and archival pens. All 31 cards will fit perfectly in a portable tin, so you can draw your cards anytime, anywhere, as needed. You may also choose to pass cards out to family, friends, or use them for random acts of kindness out in the world—spreading mindfulness wherever you go.

What do your children want more than anything in the world? For you to play with them!

Make all your dreams come true with this special Dad + Me creative play event—perfect for Fathers’ Day weekend! Each of you (Dad included!) will create your own colourful, fresh, whimsical painting to hang together in your home as a reminder of these hours spent together, and to inspire future play + creativity!

In this 3.5-hour workshop, participants will use chalk to draw simple illustrations on a pre-painted black canvas, then fill the spaces outside the lines with vibrant colours of artist quality acrylic paint. Once dry, removing the chalk lines will reveal the original background to “outline” your illustration. Each participant will create their very own 16x16″ masterpiece.

$80 per person | Suitable for boys + girls, ages 8 and up. Grandfathers welcome, too!
Supplies + refreshments are included. Participants are welcome to bring their own snacks.
