The Art of Living

JOIN US FOR A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE IN “THE ART OF LIVING” WORKSHOP, LED BY ANGELA BRAXTON-JOHNSON AND SUNSHINE DIXON.⁣

In this creative journey, we’ll explore the harmony of art and life through a unique blend of meditation, music, the power of words, and the enchantment of watercolors. This workshop is designed with one simple principle in mind: there is a place for everyone here.⁣

You need not be an artist, and there’s no pressure to produce artwork. Instead, we invite you to use artistry as a means of personal expression and self-discovery. ⁣

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝘅.
