Space to slow down, create and reconnect
I offer grounded, well-held spaces for women who want time for themselves — through creative gatherings and constellation work.
Painting by Ankea, May 2025
A monthly creative self-care gathering for women
Come as you are — all materials provided. No experience needed.
What is Paint & Pour
Paint & Pour is a relaxed, social evening designed to help you step out of everyday roles and enjoy a few hours of creative time in good company.
There’s no pressure to perform, share, or do anything “right.” Some women come to paint quietly, others to talk and laugh, and many do a bit of both.
Many women who attend Paint & Pour are capable, creative women —
leaders, professionals, and caregivers with full, demanding lives.
No art experience is needed. Even if painting feels outside your comfort zone, you’ll be supported to enjoy the process without pressure, expectations, or judgment.
A Note on Constellation Work
In addition to Paint & Pour, Ankea offers constellation work for women and couples, and occasionally with men. These offerings are distinct, and participation in one does not imply participation in the other.

“I came thinking I wasn’t creative, and left feeling relaxed and surprisingly nourished. It wasn’t about the painting. It was about the space.”
“It was a rare pause in a very full life. No pressure, no expectations — just time to slow down and be with other women.”
“I didn’t expect how special it would feel to take the painting home. It became a quiet reminder of giving myself that time.”
