Intuitive Creativity
Explore, Experiment, and Exhale with Intuitive Creativity
Unearth your inner wisdom. Embrace freedom from your creativity.
This workshop is designed to help you access creative courage, connect with your intuition, and unearth the deep wisdom that lives within you. Together, we’ll explore what it means to create freedom-focused art—art that invites raw honesty, emotional release, and true self-expression.
Through intuitive layering, we’ll learn to let go of overthinking and perfectionism, embracing surprise, change, and spontaneity as essential parts of the creative process. We’ll explore how contrast brings life—not only to your paintings, but also to the emotional landscape that fuels them.
What You’ll Experience
🎨 A creative journey through the full arc of the artistic process
🌀 Guidance in navigating the exciting beginnings, the messy middles, and the powerful endings
🖌️ Techniques for building rich, layered compositions with intuition as your guide
💫 Support in moments of uncertainty, helping you build trust in your own creative instincts
🌈 Exploration of color, contrast, and emotional depth
💖 A nurturing environment that encourages self-acceptance, inspiration, and connection with kindred creatives
No matter your experience level, this class is an invitation to show up wholeheartedly, take creative risks, and fall in love with the process. I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
The Process
Each session begins with a gentle grounding practice—either a short guided meditation or mindful movement like yoga—to help clear the mind, relax the body, and bring us into the present moment. From this grounded space, we’re ready to explore.
Everyone has their own creative station set up with all the supplies you need. YEAH! This is also when I get to put on one of my music playlists, which are a big part of the experience. You’ll hear everything from old-school hip hop to classical—because different sounds spark different creative energies.
With a few prompts and a gentle introduction, you'll begin your own creative journey on canvas or paper. This is where the magic begins. This is where you learn to trust your instincts and let your creativity lead the way. Be ready to use your fingers, arms, and even your whole body (dress for mess) as your paintbrush.

From Belle Bougie
At Belle Bougie, we handcraft unique soy candles in 100% recycled containers—breathing new life into what most people simply throw away. What began during the pandemic as a way to repurpose empty wine bottles into handmade gifts for loved ones has since blossomed into a full-fledged passion for upcycling.
Today, we use everything from wine bottles and aluminum cans to glass yogurt jars and other one-of-a-kind containers, all sourced from our own home or generously donated by friends and the community. We never purchase new vessels—every piece has a story, and every candle is a beautiful example of sustainable creativity. Each one is made with 100% soy wax and clean-burning oils, so they’re as kind to the environment as they are to your space.

Conscious + Creative: Couples Therapeutic Art Workshop
Are you seeking a fresh perspective on your relationship journey?
Do you crave a therapeutic experience that goes beyond the traditional therapy room? Perhaps you're looking for a nonjudgmental space where you and your loved one can reconnect, reflect, and grow—guided by Ashley James, a compassionate professional that is a Certified Recreation Therapy, with certification in trauma-informed expressive arts, and training in the Gottman Method.
Relationship Therapeutic Art offers a creative space for partnerships in all seasons—whether you're married, dating, engaged, or long-time partners. It goes beyond talk therapy by incorporating creative expression as a powerful tool for connection. Through art-making, couples can access emotions that may be difficult to articulate, explore shared meaning, and engage in a new, often more intuitive form of communication.
In our couples art sessions, you’ll explore emotions, strengthen communication, and deepen your connection through the power of artistic expression. My goal is to help you and your partner discover new ways to connect, heal, and thrive—together.
This unique approach offers a nonjudgmental space for couples to rediscover one another—fostering deeper harmony, intimacy, and resilience within the relationship.
In these sessions, you can be expected to integrate principles from frameworks such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and other therapeutic elements such as The 5 Love Languages, that will inform our arts-based approach below:
Framework - C.A.R.E.S
C: Connection - focuses on collaboration to develop background information about each partner and the relationship as a whole.
A: Accountability - emphasizes the important benefits of self-care and how each partner defines their version of self-care.
R: Rituals - clarification of each partner’s values and how to work collaboratively with one another.
E: Empathy - learn about how each partner defines their own expression of love to maintain emotional needs.
S: Support - map out your journey of life both individually and together while also considering where you want to go.

Do you seek clarity in certain areas of your life?
Are you ready to explore a creative path to enhance your emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then art journaling could be the answer you've been looking for.
Join us for our inspiring recurring free-form class designed to empower you on your path to personal growth, even in the face of life's challenges.
Life can be demanding, leaving us feeling tired, stressed, and overwhelmed. If you're longing for moments of tranquility and self-discovery, this class is your oasis.
Led by Works From The HeART’s Ashley James, you'll embark on a journey of self-expression and healing through the magic of art journaling. Ashley will guide you through the creative process with carefully curated prompts, making this a welcoming space for everyone. No prior artistic experience is necessary!

Class includes: All materials to be used during the process
If you don’t have an art journal of your own, you may purchase a leather-bound journal clad with mixed media pages for an additional $40.

The Creative Spirit: Faith Club
I know there are some of you out there just starting in your walk with Christ. I have felt the tug and pull of God calling me to act to help others in their journey.
I have a creative brain, and often times when reading the Bible, I would get stuck—words are hard 😅. So, I’d end up drawing or painting images of the words that resonated and felt God was speaking to me. When I’d put it into imagery, things began to click and would stick with me.
There’s probably some of you out there that resonate with this, which is why I am throwing this opportunity out there for anyone that struggles with reading the Bible, or maybe you just need intentional space outside of Church to focus on your relationship with Jesus, and more so, be around other Christ followers.
This is a DONATIONS based program, which means you only pay what you feel you can.
I hope you will join me!

Today, we use everything from wine bottles and aluminum cans to glass yogurt jars and other one-of-a-kind containers, all sourced from our own home or generously donated by friends and the community. We never purchase new vessels—every piece has a story, and every candle is a beautiful example of sustainable creativity.
