From there, participants are guided through thoughtfully designedjournaling prompts that encourage honest self-inquiry and emotional awareness.Writing by hand becomes a powerful tool for connection—slowing the mind, reducingstress, and creating space to access deeper insight.The written reflection then flows into expressive watercolor exploration, whereparticipants are invited to translate their inner experience into color, shape, andmovement. This creative process serves as a form of integration—allowing thoughtsand emotions to be processed, softened, and expressed in a more intuitive andembodied way.Together, this practice gently bridges thought and feeling—offering a way to movebeyond overthinking and into greater clarity, insight, and self-trust. The focus is not onartistic skill, but on using creativity as a tool for awareness, processing, and personalconnection.--Wednesdays from 10:00am-11:30am$75 for each individual session or $60 a sessions if you purchase all 12 sessions at once.$10 for watercolor journal (one time fee)--What Participants Can Expect• A guided, step-by-step creative process each week• Mindfulness practices to support presence and self-awareness• Journaling prompts that encourage exploration without pressure• Introductory watercolor techniques woven into expressive practice• An emphasis on process over product—no art experience needed• Opportunities for optional sharing and connection• Practices to carry your experience into daily life between sessionsWeekly Themes & PromptsParticipants are welcome to join individual sessions or commit to the full 12-week series, whichoffers a deeper, more cumulative experience over time.Week 1: Coming Home to YourselfSlowing down, arriving in the present moment, and taking an honest inner inventoryWeek 2: The Art of NoticingCultivating awareness without judgmentWeek 3: The Inner DialogueExploring self-talk and the voice withinWeek 4: The Art of Letting GoExploring control, resistance, and the practice of surrenderWeek 5: Emotional LandscapeConnecting with and expressing emotions through color and formWeek 6: The Body as GuideListening to physical sensations as a pathway to awarenessWeek 7: Stories We CarryIdentifying personal narratives and inherited beliefsWeek 8: Your Story, ReimaginedCreating space for new perspectives and possibilitiesWeek 9: Seasons of SelfRecognizing internal rhythms, transitions, and cyclesWeek 10: Creative Rituals for Everyday LifeIntegrating mindfulness and creativity into daily practiceWeek 11: Trusting YourselfBuilding self-trust and honoring inner knowingWeek 12: Integration & ReflectionLooking back, acknowledging growth, and carrying insights forwardAbout Tracey WaldroupTracey Waldroup is best known for her abstract works which convey a sense of mystery, primarily through illegible handwriting, buried under layers of acrylic paint and texture.
