Workshop: Grief and the Unknown
Friday, August 22 — 5:00 to 8:00 PM or

Sunday, August 24 — 1:00 to 4:00 PM
Christine will guide a thoughtful exploration of grief and navigating the unknown, creating space for reflection and healing. Later in the workshop, I’ll teach a watercolor technique that participants can use to express these emotions visually. Throughout the session, sound bath by Melody Smith will provide calming, immersive sound healing to deepen the experience.

I create watercolor paintings that move—wild hearts and wild-hearted places that carry energy and aliveness.  Every piece pulses with the same energetic hum: a call for connection, the freedom to live authentically, and a reminder to embrace life fully.

 Watercolor came into my life when everything felt tight, pressured, and draining. It gave me a way to breathe. To push back. To feel free. My work is for anyone who’s tired of hustle culture—who wants their space to feel like a breath of fresh air, a walk through the woods, or a long exhale.
