I’m Mandi. In 2017, after surviving back-to-back life-threatening illnesses, art journaling became my way to breathe again. I founded this community because creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a vital tool for well-being. This is a somatic-based creative practice for those ready to trade perfection for presence.
This is your home if:
- You’re stuck in your head and want a tactile, grounded experience.
- You’re a "recovering perfectionist" ready to embrace messy layers.
- You need a restorative outlet for stress or burnout.
- You want to quiet your inner critic through self-compassion.
What to expect:
- Somatic Guidance: Mindfulness integrated into every project.
- Low-Pressure Play: A "use what you have" philosophy.
- Supportive Community: Share your "messy middles" without judgment.
We practice resilience on the page so we can carry it into our lives.
