Curriculum
Art with Intention™ Curriculum
We live in a world that rarely slows down. For those of us prone to anxiety, that constant noise can feel relentless. Art with Intention was created as a doorway out of the overwhelm and into something quieter. Something that belongs to you.
Art is not just creative expression. It is a mind-body practice. When we make art, the nervous system settles, the inner critic softens, and the body begins to breathe. There is decades of research behind what many of us have felt in our bones: making art heals. It shifts our brain into a state of flow, reduces cortisol, and creates a felt sense of calm that is hard to find anywhere else. These modules were designed to give you that experience, one intentional creative act at a time.
The Healing Arts Toolkit
Think of this less as a "curriculum" and more as a Healing Arts Toolkit. This is a cohesive system that transforms community. Each workshop is a module with a consistent format, so anyone can pick it up and use it. Each one pairs guided meditation with intentional art-making to help you feel, process, and heal. The use of this is free. If self facilitating please refer to the guidelines. If you would like me to facilitate a workshop, there is a fee. Click here to request it.

What Participants Are Saying
Art with Intention™ Healing Art Workshops
“It was very relaxing. It was a nice pause in the middle of the day, which carried over into the rest of my day. I really enjoyed the painting portion of the workshop. I was not focused on other thoughts or my to-do list. I would highly recommend this workshop, especially for groups. Our group was able to get to know one another through our artwork.”
— Workshop Participant
“Elizabeth did an excellent job of transforming the workspace into a meditation atmosphere. Asking professionals to unplug and meditate in the middle of the day is no easy task. Our staff really enjoyed both the meditation and the art piece.”
— Ava
“I always feel good after meditation sessions. They reduce stress and make me feel like I have accomplished something positive for my health and well-being. They improve my productivity and concentration for the afternoon, and because I am less stressed, I am more relaxed in my interactions with coworkers.”
— Petra
“I like how Elizabeth guides us to a beautiful, relaxing location and then reminds us we can visit that place again any time we like. This is a good foundation for my own meditation practice. I revisited that meeting place in my mind later.”
— Ethan
