Meet the newest member of our marketing team. This little guy will be one of the many stingray smile reminders that live in the studio. This week we drew stingray art, reframed fears, learned new animal facts, and hide tiny stingrays around the studio to bring a smile to another kiddos face. #ExpressiveArtsStudio #NervousSystemRegulation #SeaToBelieve #ExpressiveArtsTherapy #ConnectCreateRegulate #Humarock #MA

A summer weekend filled with social, physical, and mental rest. After three months of weekend travel I was able to spend a little extra time on the south shore this weekend! With no plans or schedule I mixed in some of my go to REST activities to fill my day and nourish my body, brain, and spirit! Lots of ocean dips, garden visits, making summer meals, and reading by the sea #SeaToBelieve #SouthShore #MentalRest #PhysicalRest #SocialRest #ExpressiveArts #Ocean #Wellness #Wellbeing #ConnectCreateRegulate

We sipped on tea, connected over flower memories, and created wreaths that will last years. #ExpressiveArts #FlowerTherapy #WanderAndRoveCollection #StyledBySarah #SeaToBelieve #ConnectCreateRegulate #Flowers #Ocean #CreativeArts #LavendarWreathMaking

✨ Felted Sheep Workshop Recap ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you Know • Sheep can recognize emotional expressions on the faces of other sheep. It has been said that they are able to identify another calm sheep from a startled one just by looking at their faces. Sheep also experience emotions. It has been said that sheep can even show empathy for others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Needle Felting • The sheep were a step up in the challenge rating from our last felting workshop. The sheep took additional focus, attention, and fine motor skills. Isabel from The Felted Acorns did a beautiful job supporting the workshop attendees at Sea to Believe throughout the night. Each sheep was individually created with a variety of color choices, details, and expression ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Community • We had a wonderful time connecting with one another about sheep stories and tapping into our inner child creativity. Everyone left with a sheep and a memory to carry with them into the spring season. #seatobelieve #womanownedbusiness #creative #expressiveart #artistherapy #workshop #smallbusiness #experience #calm #makeart #community #connection #therapeutic #process #savethedate #humarock #connectcreateregulate #waldorf #needlefelting #mermaid #ocean #waldorfinspired #craftwithfriends #thefeltedacorns
QOYA Reflection ✨. On Friday we welcomed Isabel from @thefeltedacorns to our Creating the Space Studios to engage in a movement based workshop that focused on connecting with your wise, wild, and free. For me this movement practice was a beautiful reminder of the daily practice of starting present in the moment and jumping off the treadmill of life. I started the workshop focused on all the parts of the studio I need to organize and by the end I was dancing with new connections in a conga line with a full heart smile and belly laugh experience. Isabels workshop embodied the core focus of our Sea to Believe Studio. The workshop allowed opportunity to CONNECT with self and the community, CREATE a new body wellness memory, and practice new REGULATE(ing) resources that can be used in every day life. If you are curious to learn more about QOYA make sure to follow and favorite the studio. We will be offering more workshops in the upcoming months ✨ #SeaToBelieve #ConnectCreateRegulate #QOYA #MovementHeals #DanceIsTherapy #ExpressiveArts #Studio #Wellness #Wellbeing #MindfulMovement
