In this 2 day class, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started with watercolor painting. We will have an in-depth conversation about paper and pads, paint, palettes, and brushes. After the materials lecture, we'll jump right in and make a color chart, practice mixing paint and our brush strokes. After a quick review on the second day, you'll have the opportunity to paint a custom illustration created by Catherine and printed on watercolor paper. You'll leave this short, but sweet class with enough experience and knowledge to know if investing in the materials to paint with watercolor is something you are interested in doing. All materials provided. *A $20 materials fee must be paid to instructor at first class.

February 17th will be a special all day session. We will meet from 2:30 to 5, take a half hour break and finish up between 5:30 to 7:30.

This workshop serves as an introduction to Reiki. The course presents its history, the basic hand positions, and the Western techniques introduced in the U.S. by Mrs. Takata. It focuses primarily on physical healing through a combination of lecture, discussion, meditation and practice time. You will be attuned as a Reiki I practitioner. You will have an opportunity to both give a Reiki treatment and experience one for yourself, and you will receive a Reiki I Manual and Certificate. There is no prerequisite to this course.
