4 full juicy hours playing with paint and paper and Sarah Gardner (www.juicy-s.net)

This workshop takes place from 12pm-4pm in our San Jose Art Studioat 176 Race Street, San Jose.

Here is what Sarah has to say about your time together:

For me, creativity is a mindfulness practice that contributes to my well-being. Mindfulness is being attentive to what’s happening now. Our assumptions (about ourselves, our ability, what’s good or bad), and our limiting thoughts, are all part of our history—they are grounded in the past. Our worry and fear of not being good enough, or failing is about the unknown, what hasn’t happened yet—the future. What’s left is something in between — the present moment. This is where we are when we engage ourselves in a playful process of creating something. We tap into our intuition and truest selves, our essential nature, when we create.

Creativity is my self care. Sharing what I make, and how I make it is, for me, sharing my joy. I hope that what I share helps others to experience this joy.

I hope that you will experience joy today, and that, in sharing your Kindness Cards, you give some of that joy to others. This small act of kindness will create a deep sense of well-being. I believe that sharing our joy can transform the world. Today we are going to create Kindness Cards to share our joy with others!

I’m Sarah Gardner, also known as Juicy*S. Juicy*S is my DJ name. I'm not a DJ. I would love to be a DJ. I am a recovering perfectionist. I have learned that what gives me joy is the process of creating, not the “perfect” end result. I want to help others explore creativity, ignore that perfectionistic inner critic, and play around with art supplies. It gives me joy, and I want to share this way to happiness. This is my wish for you. What's your DJ name? Let's sling some paint, share some art, and you can tell me all about it!
