The Weekly Flow
This four-week creative immersion is designed to help you reconnect with yourself through meditative art and guided inner exploration.

Kristen will be available throughout the program for personal guidance, questions, and feedback.
Week 1: Grounding & Safety In The Creative Process
Practice: Breath Drawing + Continuous Line Drawing
Meditation: Grounding Before Creative Practice
Focus: Creative work can stir up emotion, self-doubt, and inner resistance. This week invites you to begin from a grounded place, to settle your nervous system, and stay connected to yourself as you create. We learn to become steady, soften the need to control, and simply begin.
Week 2: Drawing From The Inside Out
Practice: Neurographic Art
Meditation: Intention Setting For Creative Work
Focus: This week, we’ll use line, shape, and color to help us process tension, soften inner edges, and uncover creative insight. Neurographic Art offers a structured, meditative way to explore emotion and open new pathways for expression. Let your intention guide your hand, and watch what begins to shift.
Week 2: Draw Without Thinking
Practice: Automatic Drawing
Meditation: No Thinking, Just Feeling: Letting Go Into Unbounded Self-Expression
Focus: Automatic Drawing invites total freedom. With no plan or outcome in mind, you’ll create from a place beyond thought. This week is about surrender, letting go of control, perfectionism, and judgment to allow surprising, unconscious imagery to emerge.
Week 4: Putting It All Together
Practice: Experimental Drawing - Artist’s Choice
Meditation: Heart-Brain Harmony For Deep Work
Focus: In our final week, you’ll integrate everything you’ve explored into one intuitive piece. Using any or all of the practices we’ve covered, you’ll let your creativity take the lead. This is a chance to play, explore, and create from a deeper, more connected place.

About Your Teacher
I’ve been drawing, painting, and creating since childhood, and have spent the past 25 years cultivating a deeply personal art practice centered on intuition, exploration, and self-inquiry.
After earning degrees in Art History and Visual Communication, I worked for years as a graphic designer and marketing professional. It was a time that honed my skills but eventually left me longing for something deeper. I returned to hands-on art-making and studied at the Honolulu Academy of Art School, a period I consider my personal MFA, where I learned to paint not just from technique, but from truth.
Throughout my adult life, my personal art journals have been a constant. They are living records of my inner life: volumes of sketches, writings, and imagery that trace growth, change, and understanding across decades. For me, art journaling is a way of staying connected to what’s real. It is a practice of witnessing my life in real time as it unfolds, one page at a time.
Today, my work focuses less on creating finished products and more on cultivating a living creative practice rooted in presence, emotional integration, and the freedom to express without judgment. Through Flow & Stillness I share this process with others, offering pathways to reconnect with creativity, self-awareness, and the simple joy of making art.
