Happy New Year, Friends!

As we step into 2026, I’m feeling the familiar curiosity and excitement that comes with a blank canvas full of possibility. What will this fresh year bring? What themes will rise up? What will we release, and what will we create?

In the Chinese zodiac, we’re entering the Year of the Fire Horse, which carries the energy of movement, vitality, and brave forward momentum. From a creative perspective, this invites us to trust our inner rhythm, create with more freedom, and follow what feels alive rather than what feels expected.

Sounds like a perfect year for some creative expression!

If you're craving more freedom and creativity in 2026, but you're feeling unsure about where to begin or how the heck to use all those art supplies you've stockpiled, I've got a really special gift for you today. 

To celebrate the fresh canvas of 2026, I’m gifting my newsletter community two months of access inside my FREE FLO membership community — no pressure to join, just a love-infused creative space to land softly in the new year.

FREE FLO offers gentle structure, steady inspiration, and a loving community that values honesty, curiosity, and aliveness over perfection. Come as you are, no experience necessary...

Each week, we gather live on Zoom for soulful, nourishing practices:

🎨 Intuitive painting
🌿 Gentle movement
🌀 Freedom-focused creative practices
✍️ Flow writing
🌬️ Breathwork & meditation
✨ Monthly guest teachers
💛 Creative prompts designed to infuse more vitality into everyday life

My favorite thing about FREE FLO is that it creates a reason to place these sacred creative practices on your calendar and a warm, welcoming community to meet you there. You don't have to do this alone. 

As one member recently shared, “FREE FLO is both a safe haven and a stirring, awakening call to the creator in me who longs to thrive.”

This is currently the only online space where I teach live, so if you've been FREE FLO curious, this is a pressure-free way to step inside, look around, and see if it’s a fit for you.

Use this special link to enjoy two free months inside FREE FLO.

Just a heads up: You will need to enter your credit card to receive the two free months (kinda like Netflix), but you will receive a notification before your card is charged. 

I’d love to dance, paint, and gallop our way into 2026 with YOU!

Ok, on with some creative goodies for the weeks ahead...

Thanks again for being here.

May the year ahead be deeply nourishing and wildly creative,
