The Lifelong Journey of Creation: From Childhood to Retirement
​In every stage of life, the act of creating plays a crucial role in fostering personal growth, well-being, and a sense of fulfillment. Whether you're a child exploring the wonders of imagination or a retiree embracing newfound leisure, the importance of creating remains constant. From our kid camps to our classes at assisted living facility we know the significance of creativity at each life stage contributes to a rich and fulfilling existence.

Childhood:
Nurturing Imagination and LearningIn the early years, children naturally gravitate towards creativity. Encouraging artistic expression through activities like drawing, painting, and storytelling not only fuels their imagination but also lays the foundation for essential cognitive skills. Our kid art camps create a safe and encouraging space to help kids thrive. 

Adolescence:
Self-Discovery Through Artistic ExpressionAs individuals navigate the challenges of adolescence, creativity becomes a powerful outlet for self-expression. Whether it's writing, music, or visual arts, engaging in creative endeavors helps teenagers discover their identity and cope with the complexities of growing up.  Many of our classes are open for teens. We encourage parents to bring their teens and treat the classes as a time to bond over creating.

Adulthood:
Balancing Work and Passion ProjectsAmidst the responsibilities of adulthood, it's vital to carve out time for creative pursuits. Whether it's a side hustle, a hobby, or a passion project, creating allows adults to maintain a healthy work-life balance and cultivate a sense of purpose beyond their professional obligations. We believe our classes can help with this by bringing creativity and community together.

Midlife:
Renewal and RediscoveryAs individuals reach midlife, the need for renewal and rediscovery becomes apparent. Engaging in creative activities can be a rejuvenating experience, providing an outlet for stress relief and a means to explore new interests. Whether you’re in the chaos of parenting and just needing a break to recharge or you’re an empty nester trying to rediscover who you are we feel embracing activities outside of your comfort zone to be beneficial.

Retirement:
Embracing Leisure and Artistic PursuitsRetirement marks a new chapter of freedom and leisure. Creative activities during this stage not only offer a fulfilling way to spend time but also contribute to mental well-being. From painting to writing, retirees can explore a variety of artistic pursuits to stay mentally active and socially connected. Staying connected after leaving your work family is important and we help connect you to others.

A Lifelong Journey of CreativityIn conclusion, the journey of creation is a lifelong endeavor that contributes to personal development, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose. Regardless of age, embracing creativity enriches our lives, fostering continuous growth and satisfaction.

By acknowledging and promoting creativity at every life stage, we can ensure a fulfilling and well-rounded existence. So, whether you're guiding a child's first steps into the world of art or exploring your creative side in retirement, remember that the act of creating is a timeless and invaluable pursuit.

A look ahead… 2023 the year of trusting the process.

Each year I think through what I want less of next year, intentions I want to set, and a word that encompasses all of that to keep me on track.

2022: Peace
​2021:
2020:
​2019: Grace
​2018: Harmony
2017: Balance
2016: Unfuckwithable

I can’t remember past 2016. Also, notice 2020 and 2021? I have literally blocked out so much of the trauma I don’t have any memory of those words for those years. So basically it was just Survive. Likely 2020 was Fine. My mantra was “I am fine, this is fine, everything is fine”.

Do you set intentions? Pick a word or mantra?

If you’d like help setting your 2023 up and working through the shit, sign up for Art Club on December 31st where we will make vision boards, work through intentions, set them, and pick a word of the year using my “special” brand of hippie dippie sarcastic positivity. Let’s grow, open up, and release what doesn’t serve us. Let’s set boundaries and intentions.

Look out for coozies coming soon with this Trust the Process graphic. Use it as a great reminder. I look forward to sharing another year of creativity with you and hope to raise a brush and a beverage with you soon.

Cheers!
