Create a Heartfelt Pocket Guide for Resilient Self-Kindness

A Galentine’s* Workshop Supporting Your Life-Journey & Wellbeing

The world feels harsh right now. Disorienting. I know I want to fight back and protect what matters. Meanwhile, Valentines saturate our days - so many frothy pink hearts that might feel out of sync with the times we're living in.

Artist and coach Suzanne Wright helps you nurture self-kindness and resilience as you build your pocket guide.

Through accessible, creativity-mindfulness exercises, you'll discover how to creatively hold both tenderness and strength, compassion and courage in the palm of your hand.

*Galentine's Day

February 13th celebrates female friendship and support.

What started off as a fictional holiday created by the TV heroine Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation), is now a global, cultural phenomenon!

Unleash Your Self-Kindness Superpower

We’ll explore how to look beneath the sugary surface to power up your pages with:

Vibrant colors - Saturated reds, shocking pinks and lush purples - unapologetic radiating hues
Strong shapes - Hearts are our ancient symbol of courage (cor = heart), the organ that literally sustains our lives, and the most-sent symbol across our screens
Grounding textures - Tactile elements that anchor you through your fingertips, giving your nervous system something real to hold onto

You'll leave with a personalized pocket guide imbued with your potent creative energy. Each time you turn the pages, this talisman releases kindness and courage when you need it most.

A lot of times I get really nervous when I have to be with people... I knew I was going to feel better... because Suzanne makes everybody feel better, and I appreciate that very much.
The cool experience for me as an adult is just to follow Suzanne's directions and not know where we're going, just do [it]. It's a different experience from my normal life. …Just letting me be in the moment [and] not having to strategize about anything.
I haven't looked at my phone in three hours... it's just so nice.
In Suzanne's workshop, we layered intuitiveness on top of intuitiveness... We started with one thing and then took it from there... We kept changing it, making decisions based on our intuition. There's no wrong way to do it.
I don’t think of myself as an artist or anything along those lines… Suzanne’s methods further prove that we all have an endless supply of creativity.
That was super fun… Very organic… It's like, I would never make those marks. The paper did it for me. It looks like they're electrified. Item
Just letting go of needing to know, and trusting the process, and trusting Suzanne... I don't need to be the expert. That’s wonderful.
Suzanne’s course was fun. It was the first time I’ve just done something creative that you couldn't either eat, wear, or clean.
There are a lot of retired people who want and need to explore and grow. Suzanne offers a lovely opportunity that promotes thoughtful growth. I treasure my experiences with Art Well 4 Life.
Suzanne has created a hybrid method that is really unique. She has a way of blending creativity with my personal growth work ... it makes risk-taking fun and joyful for me. I have seen powerful results!
Suzanne is incredibly good at guiding me on my life journey. Truly, it’s her calling. I am more positive, open, and excited as my sessions progress.
Suzanne’s techniques are based on neuroscience, and nourish the mind and spirit. They are also quick and easy enough to fit into my busy lifestyle.
As an independent strategic planner who has worked with Suzanne for many years, I can attest that her innovative and accessible programs really work. Her Art + Well courses build on her 25-year track record of award-winning programs helping people improve their lives through creativity. You’re in great hands with Suzanne!
Suzanne’s course started my reboot. It had been a long time since I’d had the opportunity to do this kind of “life-work” because of COVID and moving our home. I feel that it was more than a coincidence that I have had a succession of positive things happen in the last month.
