Clarissa facilitates in‑person, heart‑centered art experiences for small groups, including teams and organizations who want to strengthen connection, improve communication, and support morale in a deeply human way.

These experiences are designed for retreats, gatherings, and intentional workplace events, offering something far more meaningful than traditional team‑building activities.

No art experience is required — only a willingness to show up.

The Basics

These are guided, small‑group experiences that use non-performative creativity as a tool for:

• connecting to the heart

• Improving communication and raport

• Supporting emotional resilience and self understanding

• Reconnecting people to themselves and each other

Each session is calm, grounded, and thoughtfully facilitated, creating space for reflection, dialogue, and shared experience.

These events are ideal for:

• Small groups (2–15 people)

• People seeking relief from life's burdens

• Groups seeking personalized activities that flow with the dynamic of the group and the individuals

• Any group or individuals seeking authentic connection beyond surface‑level activities

They are especially well‑suited for retreats and intentional gatherings where presence and depth matter.

Session Dynamic

Each experience is highly customized to each group. Each session will last 1.5–2 hours. Activities included:

• Guided, accessible heart centered art‑making

• Thoughtful reflection prompts

• Meaningful conversation

• Gentle grounding techniques (breathwork, eft tapping, calm music, tea, etc)

This environment has such a unique beauty to it. It is:

• Non‑judgmental

• Non‑performative

• Calm and supportive

Participants are not asked to share more than they want to, nothing is forced. The process naturally invites insight, ease, and connection.

Outcomes & Benefits

Groups often leave these experiences with:

• Strong sense of connection to themselves and eachother

• Feeling peaceful and happy

• A sense of empowerment

• Reduced stress and emotional tension

• New tools for nervous system regulation

• Renewed creativity and clarity

• A shared experience that continues to strengthen relationships over time

This work supports people as whole humans — complex, dynamic, and multi-fauceted in nature.
