Waitlist members get the free 3-day Calming Circles Couch Challenge first. It starts Wednesday, October 14. How it works
Calming Circles Collage
Painting that’s just yours. The kids, the doctors, and work don’t get this one. Pick it up when life gets lifey and put it down when your body says stop.
Sign up and you get the early bird rate when doors open in October, a live kickoff class with me (replay included), and the free 3-day Couch Challenge before anyone else, starting Wednesday, October 14. Pop your name below and I’ll email you when the challenge starts, and again when doors open.
The Calming Circles Couch Challenge
Three guided audio sessions, about ten minutes each. You press play, put the phone face down, and make one circle with whatever’s in reach, a pen or a brush, from wherever you’re lying. By Friday you’ll have something you made in the body you have this week, and you’ll know what the course feels like from the inside. Waitlist members go first, starting Wednesday, October 14.
Circle with the breath
One breath, one circle. It counts. Why a circle settles your whole system, plus a couch setup with no water and nothing to decide.
Fill it without deciding
Don’t decide. Doodle. Meditative marks on Wednesday’s circle, and how to get into flow when your hands or your energy won’t cooperate.
Make it a touchstone
This is where you usually stop. Live with me at noon: your circle becomes a touchstone you keep by the bed, and you see what it grows into.
It runs Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, October 14 to 16. The last session is live with me on Friday at noon Eastern: we make the touchstone together, I show you what you’ll make in the course, and I open the doors. Miss a day and it’s waiting for you the next morning. A pen and the back of an envelope count as supplies.
Join the waitlist and get the challenge first
After 1,500 live workshops, this is the course you’ve asked for most: the calming painting process, start to finish, plus how to turn your circles into collage for your walls, your gifts, and you. The lessons come out of my arts in health and therapeutic art training, and each one is built so the calm shows up whether or not the painting does.
Hi, I’m Katie.
A few years ago, I was living outside Philadelphia with my husband and our pup, working in senior leadership at a marketing agency and heading toward the career I thought I was supposed to want. Then my health fell apart. Long COVID, POTS, Celiac, anemia, mold exposure, surgery, burnout, grief, one thing after another. I went from the woman who never dropped a ball at work to someone lying on the couch wondering who I’d become.
In the fall of 2022, alone at my kitchen table and looking for anything that might make life feel less over, I logged onto an online painting event. For the first time in months, I felt calm, curious, present, and not alone. That feeling cracked something open. I realized how many women are quietly grieving versions of themselves that nobody else even noticed they’d lost.
So I built the thing I needed: a studio that meets you in a fluctuating body, on a flare day, from the couch, and helps you find your way back to yourself one small painting at a time. I built it because I needed it, and some days I still do.
These days I’m a Global Arts in Medicine Fellow, trained in arts in health, and studying to become an art therapist. I still paint from the couch most days.
