Melissa’s Upcoming Events
More Than an Art Workshop
Melissa’s Art & Spirit workshops and retreats are an invitation to step away from the everyday and make space for your creativity. Through painting, meditation, gentle guidance, and time shared with like-minded people, you’ll explore your artistic vision in a relaxed and supportive setting.
Whether you’re new to painting or an experienced artist, come as you are. Create, connect, and see what wants to emerge.
