A therapeutically led in person creative experience for women focused on making bad collaborative art together.

  Creative Joy Lab is a fully guided, in-person creative experience for women who want to let go of perfection and reconnect with joy through bad, funny, collaborative art.

Led by a creative arts therapist, this gathering invites you into a playful, supportive space where you’ll be guided through multiple creative modalities each session — including drama, movement, visual art, creative writing, and music. Every activity is designed to be process-focused, imperfect, and shared, with an emphasis on creativity, bravery, and connection rather than outcomes or skill.

This is not an art class and not therapy, but it is deeply supportive and restorative. You don’t need any creative experience, just a willingness to show up, try something new, and make a little mess together.

In Creative Joy Lab, you’re invited to:

• make art that’s intentionally imperfect and often humorous
• experiment across different creative forms
• collaborate rather than perform
• laugh, move, and create alongside other women
• practice being seen without needing to get it right

All materials are provided.
We give each other Applause only, no critique.
No pressure to share personally unless you want to.

✨ Creative Joy Lab will transition into a 4-week series beginning in April. February drop-ins offer a welcoming way to experience the work.

Come as you are.
Leave lighter, more connected, and a little more alive.

Creative Joy Lab is a monthly, 60-minute, therapeutically led creative gathering for women who are tired of perfection, productivity, and doing everything “right.” These gatherings are led by a licensed psychotherapist and creative arts therapist.

This is a space where we intentionally make bad art together.
Art that’s messy. Art that’s funny. Art that doesn’t need to make sense.
Art that helps loosen the grip of the inner critic and remember how to play.

Each Creative Joy Lab is led by a licensed creative arts therapist and offers a guided, full-spectrum creative experience. We work across multiple expressive modalities so there are many ways to enter the work: through the body, imagination, voice, and simple art-making.

During our time together, you can expect:

• playful movement and drama-therapy–inspired prompts to get out of our heads and into our bodies
• creative writing and voice-based invitations that value honesty over polish
• collaborative visual art designed to be imperfect, humorous, and process-focused
• group creation that emphasizes collaboration over individual performance
• laughter and play as legitimate tools for nervous system relief
• gentle reflection to notice what emerged, without overanalyzing

Each session is different, but the intention remains the same:
to practice creativity, courage, and connection through imperfection.

This is not an art class.
This is not therapy, though it is therapeutic in nature.
You do not need to be artistic.
You do not need to know what you’re doing.

You just need to be willing to:

• try something imperfect
• laugh at yourself
• create alongside other women
• let go of getting it right
