Art gets us through the hard times, giving us deep nourishment for the heart, mind and soul.

workshops that connect to something larger than ourselves - rekindling your sense of wonder.

A Cultivating Creativity Workshop is an experiential workshop for everyone. We meet in a warm, inviting place that inspires. We travel through progressive explorations in a sketchbook, introducing a comfortable level of creative process and pleasure. It's a deep learning environment as we free our creative selves, fire our spirits, stir our imaginations, gain confidence and have fun connecting with like-minded folk.

It's a smaller ‘hands-on’ workshop experience in a space that feeds the mind and soul and cultivates creativity. We give ourselves permission to play and revel in a mindful sense of learning and connection. There are few rules - it's your time to explore.

each workshop is an affair of the heart, mind & soul.

Participant Testimonials:

"I was so anxious about this experience ..it was right out of my comfort zone! However Andrea provided such a profoundly nurturing caring expansive day for us all .... my deepest fears melted swiftly on arrival. She set the scene with such care and love encouraging us to leave our outer worlds behind be open to the possibilities we all know we have inside us. And, magically, and with great ease, we did. Andrea guided us through simple yet powerful exercises with words, colors, an array of tools and so much gentle encouragement to be ourselves with no attachment to any result or outcome other than our own pleasure to be in that lovely inner space. Strangers to each other, each one of us connected with her teaching and inspiration. We so savored the time and great care Andrea put into ensuring we felt at ease to explore and have grand fun and many laughs. Andrea brought us her very best as a professional artist and teacher: a unique suite of talents rare to find. I look forward (with way less trepidation) to her next workshop and taking more steps, one at a time, into the inner world of my own creativity that I know quietly and patiently awaits my arrival." - Siobhan

“We really enjoyed the morning workshop. We found it very educational and enjoyed learning to draw with the different mediums. We liked that the environment was very causal and a nice mix of people. The time flew by and it was over before we knew it. I would recommend your workshops highly." - D. Roseman (with son, Drawing workshop)

I had the pleasure of attending a 'Cultivating Creativity' workshop with Andrea Klann. Andrea is a warm and engaging instructor, who brought her passion for visual exploration to the class in a knowledgable, supportive and visually inviting fashion.   The only regret I had was that time went by way too fast, I would have happily carried on for much longer.

I would warmly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to gift themselves time in the magical space of creative exploration. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

“Thank you again for the creativity you inspired in me today.
I have caught a glimpse of new things possible... and learned to use some of the techniques we experienced this morning as forms of relaxation and imagination; a beautiful experience! - Nicole

"Thank you Andrea for leading us through a day of retreat and introduction to expressing our creativity through art. I learned to relax and explore without fear of judgement." - Lisa

"The Cultivating Creativity workshop left me feeling as though I had just had a brain massage. By the end of the day, I was mentally refreshed with a clear, open and calm mind ready to explore new ideas and the art techniques we learned. This was a terrific workshop I would attend again." -   Shannon

"An afternoon of creativity, relaxation, imagination, learning and fun.  So much fun. Thank you Andrea for a wonderful day.  Our afternoon together felt like a spa day with art.  I loved every minute of it… your incredible attention to detail, the art and especially learning from you. I came away feeling rested and rejuvenated.  Thank you! I can't wait to sign up for your next session!" - Nancy

“The lovely and talented Andrea Klann skillfully created a safe and reflective journey for heart, mind and soul. How wonderful it was to walk into a peaceful, meditative, joyful space with others to explore and create.” - Launette

“Teaching” art is not an easy task.  I have been to many art seminars and classes in the past few years, and those experiences felt disconnected from actually creating something unique to me.  You achieved that, I was able to do my thing with your gentle guidance, and it was so much fun!  Your ability to communicate simple ideas to tap into our creative selves was very powerful and supportive!  Thank you!!" – Cindy

"I started the day with some trepidation as I do not consider myself a "creative" person; left to my own devices, I stall and falter. With Andrea's gentle encouragement and lovely openness for sharing her talent through teaching, I felt encouraged to explore my creative side, and was surprisingly pleased with the result. The cozy atmosphere, the gathering of creativity, the feeling that all of our needs were being met, all lent to the restorative gift of art that Andrea gave me on a beautiful brisk November day." - Linda
