Or whatever form your creativity takes.

No experience? No problem.
Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or continuing a masterpiece in progress—you’re welcome here.

What to Bring:
✨ Yourself
🧰 Whatever you’d like to create with: notebook, pens, colors, needles and threads, tablet, iPad—anything that inspires you.

As a thank-you to our lovely hosts, please consider ordering something from the menu.
We don’t receive anything from it—it’s just a kind gesture of appreciation 🤍

Join us for a slow, intentional walk through the scenic trails of the U.S. National Arboretum.
This hike isn’t about how far we go — it’s about recharging our minds, bodies, and senses, and being present with nature.

Relaxed, Intentional Hike
We’ll move at a relaxed pace, pausing often to take in the surroundings. Walk in silence or light conversation — whatever helps you slow down and reconnect.

Grounding & Reflection
We’ll gather for some gentle reflection and grounding. Through a few simple questions, we’ll bring awareness back to our bodies and explore how to carry this grounded energy into the week ahead.
