What we’re about
Welcome to our Painting + Friendship Meetup!
This group is created to bring together friends from the East Valley (Chandler + Gilbert) who share a curiosity about creativity, art, having fun, and making new friendships.
It's FUN art, not fine art.
Even if (especially if) you're a beginner, join us for creative and fun-filled gatherings where we explore various techniques, create personal works of art, and enjoy our host location's coffee or happy hour drinks (and sometimes bring our own)!
Let's form lasting connections while painting, sipping, and embracing the beauty of creativity.
Don't miss this opportunity to expand your friendships and indulge in your artistic side.
Looking forward to meeting you and getting creative with you!

Weekday Journaling & Friendship - Sozo Healing House
Sozo Healing House Classroom Suite 103, 51 West Elliot Road, STE 103, Tempe, AZ, USnot painting related - but friendship related!
**first timers always welcome!**
Give yourself a dedicated time (and some light accountability) to journal.
There are so many proven benefits to journaling- why not make it part of a monthly friendship meet up!?Let's meet for about an hour to get to know each other, take some time to journal quietly on our own then the rest of the time for a friendly get-to-know you discussion.
Bring your own journal - or just a paper and pen.If you want a new journal before our Meetup, check out the Journal and Notebook shop online at: http://bexb.org/quickshop
I'll have some journaling prompts ready to go for you if you can't think of anything to write about.
This is a combo meetup with the Journaling + Friendship and Women in Wellness Meetup groups.
You only need to RSVP in one group.
