New Year, New You! Downtown Asheville Workshop
A 2½-Day Intentional Creativity Workshop to Release the Past and Embody the Future
*******
This isn’t just an art workshop. It’s a creative and emotional reset designed to help you start the new year with clarity, courage, and alignment.
Over the course of 2½ powerful days, we use intentional creativity to examine what’s been weighing us down—and to free what’s ready to rise.

How the Alchemy Happens
We begin by turning inward. Through guided journaling and inquiry, you’ll name the limiting beliefs, traps, habits, and internalized pressure that have quietly shaped your past year. The things you’ve tolerated. The weight you’ve carried.
Then, you’ll paint your way into that truth.
You’ll create a full-body expression of the year you’re ready to leave behind.
And then—you’ll destroy it.
Not in anger, but in liberation. In devotion to your next becoming.
From that cleared space, something extraordinary happens.
You begin to dream again.
We’ll then invite your unconscious desires forward—the hopes, longings, and vision that may have been buried beneath duty, fear, or survival. From this intuitive clarity, you’ll paint again—not what you should want, but what your soul is truly calling in.
This second painting becomes your embodied vision board—not a collage of pretty pictures and goals, but a powerful, energetic map of your internal and external desires. One that your nervous system can recognize and move toward. One your whole being can stand behind.
** You won’t need any art skills for this process to work fully. Just a willingness to get honest, be bold, and stay curious. **

About the Art
We work with oversized paper, vibrant paints, charcoal, pastels, and the language of your body and intuition. There are no critiques, no rules, and no pressure to perform. Only presence.
This workshop is for anyone ready to shed the old story, claim their voice, and begin the year from a place of embodied truth.
“Expect the unexpected. A lot of magic happens here.” — Erica Hart, New Year Retreat, Florida, 2017
