One night before the summer solstice, come together with your sisters for a journey back to your own wild heart through art, song, movement, and fierce play.
We’ll meet amongst the trees, feel our feet on the earth, and reconnect to our unique voice, our playful spirit, and our true nature—creative, alive, and free.
No experience necessary! This is art for “non-artists”, singing for people who “can’t carry a tune”, and dancing for people with “two left feet.” Because creativity is our birthright as humans, not something reserved for the talented few.
Wild Heart is the June theme for Loosen Up!, a monthly creativity gathering. Each month we focus on different art modalities. We warm up, create a safe space to make mistakes and be brave, and then dive into creative expression—from painting to song circles to free writing to movement to improv and lots more. For a few hours we slow down enough from our busy lives to let our free spirits come to the surface and play.
Doesn't that sound good?

There is a reason, don’t blame it on me.
Blame it on my wild heart.

"Julia's creativity workshop was an amazing opportunity to break from routine and find inspiration to try new things. Julia is a fun, positive and supportive leader, and she created an immediate feeling of warmth and camaraderie in the small group. I left feeling refreshed and confident, and in the week since the workshop I've continued to think about bringing more creativity and less judgment into my days." S. L.
"Julia’s workshop was a welcome respite from my busy and work-centered life. It was a real treasure to get to spend a day tapping into my child-self, exploring many avenues of play and creativity. From dancing to painting to making wild sounds and beautiful harmonies, Julia’s welcoming, jubilant, and non-judgmental spirt helped me connect with myself and the group and be unafraid to make mistakes." T.W.
"Julia’s workshop was a wonderful way to tap back into my creativity, move beyond the judging mind, and into a space of self discovery and self expression. Julia holds a fun, nurturing and supportive space that helped me to feel safe exploring. I look forward to doing this again!" A. V.
