Art & Soul is a guided creative workshop that combines simple watercolor painting, mindfulness, and therapeutic art techniques to help you relax, reflect, and express yourself in a supportive, no-pressure environment.

In a world that moves quickly and asks a lot from us, finding space to slow down, breathe, and simply be can feel rare. Art & Soul was created to offer a calm, welcoming environment where creativity and mindfulness come together — a space to pause, create, and reconnect with yourself and others.

This workshop is inspired by therapeutic art practices and is designed to help you relax, reflect, and express yourself through simple and beautiful painting techniques. This is not about being a “good artist” or creating something perfect — it’s about the process, not the outcome. You’ll be encouraged to paint what you feel, not what you see. Don’t overthink — just paint, explore, and enjoy the experience.

Creative expression has been shown to calm the mind, reduce stress, support emotional processing, and open the door to inspiration, intuition, and connection. Think of this workshop as both a creative session and a form of meditation.

No artistic experience is necessary — just come with an open mind and a willingness to try something new. Creativity is medicine for the soul, and sometimes the most productive thing we can do is slow down and make something with our hands. Join us for an afternoon of creativity, mindfulness, and connection.

What to Expect:

• Warm welcome and group introductions
• Gentle, guided conversation and creative prompts
• Demonstrations of simple, fun watercolor and painting techniques
• Your choice of creative projects such as mini paintings, bookmarks, postcards, journal pages, or quote art
• A relaxed, supportive environment with no pressure or expectations

• You’ll leave with your creations, plus ideas and techniques to continue creating on your own

About your Facailitator - Nancy Matanic

Art has been a guiding force in Nancy Matanic’s life since an early age, shaping her deep connection to color, texture, and visual expression. Although her professional career led her into technology and project management, creativity remained an important outlet and source of balance, eventually becoming a powerful tool for healing, emotional processing, and stress relief. This path led her to pursue a certificate in Art Therapy, where she further explored the impact creative expression can have on mental and emotional well-being. Today, Nancy leads workshops that offer a gentle, accessible approach to creativity, focusing on the artistic process as a form of mindfulness, self-care, and emotional release, and creating welcoming spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and express themselves freely.
