Workshops & Events

The outer meaning of a Mandala represents the divine form of the universe. The inner meaning creates a map to guide the mind towards enlightenment. The secret meaning however, remains between the artist and the creation as far as specific details. Overall, it represents a balance of body and mind infused with clarity.

Join us for an afternoon of meditative art, as Natalia teaches us how to paint our own Mandala on a Canvas, using the “dotting” technique and a wide variety of beautiful acrylic paint colors.

• No experience necessary
• Bring your own snacks and refreshments
• All materials included

About Natalia:
Natalia Blaylock (or Naty), has always had a love for color and brightness. She was born in Medellin, Colombia and her family has always been supportive of her special gift – her talent.

She is self taught in the art of painting Mandalas, and has used it as art therapy to cope with life’s challenges and loss in her life.

Naty uses no patterns and often the simplest of tools. Her work is stunning and full of life and love.

Come join Amy Joy in this safe place for women of all ages to connect and bond. Each month we will come together before the full moon to align our collective energy for the good of all.

During our time together we will explore and learn how to harness our personal power. By embracing our own innate energy, we allow the flow of nature to do its magic. Learning how to release control of expectation builds an internal strength and calmness. As a sisterhood we will help to build this strength in one another.

Each month of Council Amy Joy will guide you through light movement, breathing exercises, guided meditations and education about your mind and body.

Please come in your most comfortable clothes and bring what makes you feel relaxed as we will be seated on yoga mats.

Come and experience a gentle lift of your spirit as you learn to align your body and mind with loving care.

Within you lives a child – one who once lived freely,
dreamed boldly, and felt deeply. A child who may have
learned to hide, to quiet their voice, to yearn for love in
silence.

This workshop is an invitation to return to them. Emma will guide you through gentle breathwork, guided visualization, somatic practices, and Yoga Nidra meditation, as we will create a space of deep self-compassion – where your inner child can be seen, held, and nurtured. As you breathe, emotions may rise and release, old wounds may soften, and forgotten dreams may stir awake.

We will hold space for each other in kindness and understanding. This is not a journey of fixing, but of remembering – of rediscovering the wholeness that has always been yours.

What to expect:

– Gentle, connected breathwork to access and soothe deep emotions
– Guided visualization and meditation to reconnect with and nurture your inner child
– Journaling and optional group sharing for self-reflection, support, and connection

What to bring:

– Journal and pen
– Stuffed animal

Come as you are, with an open heart. Your inner child is waiting!
