Details

🌿 Untamed Minds: A Creative Exploration for Kids 🎨
What if we let creativity run wild? Untamed Minds is an immersive, hands-on art experience designed for kids to explore, play, and express themselves freely. This space encourages curiosity, self-discovery, and unfiltered artistic expression—without the limitations of rigid rules or expectations.

### 🌟 What to Expect:

✨ Body Awareness & Visualization – We start with a fun body scan exercise, using an imaginary ball of glitter that moves through our body to help us tune in and get centered.
🎶 Expressive Art Warm-Up – We kick off with music and movement, inviting kids to paint BIG and fast on a large canvas at their height, letting energy and colors flow without overthinking.
🎨 Guided Creative Project – After the warm-up, we gather around the table for a hands-on art-making experience (project varies per session). Kids will have the freedom to create from intuition, using a mix of materials and textures.
🌀 Reflection & Sharing – Kids will have the opportunity (if they choose) to talk about their piece, their experience, or what they discovered through the process.

### 🌱 Why Untamed Minds?

  • Encourages imagination & exploration in a judgment-free space.
  • Helps children connect with their emotions through creative expression.
  • Fosters confidence & self-trust by allowing them to make their own creative choices.
  • Provides a playful, sensory-rich experience to engage the mind and body.

This is a space where kids don’t have to color inside the lines—because there are no lines! Just pure, wild creativity and the freedom to make, explore, and create something truly their own. 🌿✨
ABOUT ME:
I am a teaching artist, movement facilitator, and creative mentor who uses art as a tool for self-expression, emotional regulation, and personal transformation. With a background in civil engineering, I blend structured problem-solving with boundless creativity to design immersive experiences that encourage exploration, play, and connection.
I have worked with Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona and the Mesa Art Center, leading workshops that integrate art, storytelling, movement, and mindfulness to foster healing and self-discovery. My trauma-informed approach ensures that every space I create is one of safety, curiosity, and empowerment.
Passionate about unlocking creative potential, I encourage both children and adults to embrace imagination, express freely, and transform emotions into tangible art. ✨
