7 Days of Gentle Art
A quiet, creative invitation to return to yourself.
One scribble, shape, or swirl at a time.
A Gentle Return To Self
This isn’t for artists.
It’s for anyone who wants to feel creative again.
Maybe for the first time.
For people who make cardboard props for their kids but don’t think that counts as art.
For those managing homes, jobs, and small humans while navigating a flicker of wanting more of themselves back.
And...maybe...also for artists, too! The ones who’ve gone quiet and need a way back in that doesn’t demand anything loud or polished.
7 Days of Gentle Art is a soft, quiet return to that part of you.
You don’t need experience, fancy supplies, or a consistent bedtime in your house.
You just need small windows of willingness. Even 5 minutes works.
This course offers a prompt each day. Something you can do in five or fifteen minutes.
We don't strive for perfection here because it’s about expression, curiosity, and noticing what moves inside you.
What You Get
Each day you get:
- A daily prompt
- Examples of the art piece
- A written guide
- Optional writing/poetry prompts
- A list of alternative approaches
All Of This Counts As Creativity
Remember What You Love
Reconnect with creating. Whether it's been a few months or a couple of years. Allowing you to gently find a way back to your own comfort zone.
Set A Time Limit
Do it alongside your kids, during a quiet meeting, or with music after bedtime. These prompts work even when time is tight.
Play | Scribble | Express
Grab a post-it, a napkin, a random envelope. There’s no perfect way to do this. There's only your way.
This Might Be For You If...
- You crave creativity, but the thought of starting feels… loud
- You’re busy, overstretched, and want art to feel like a return and not yet another demand on the to-do list
- You find yourself saying, “I’m not really creative,” even though you make cardboard props for your kids, and have been known to purchase hobby supplies
- You’re raising little humans and want something that’s just yours (or something you can quietly share)
- You’ve had complicated feelings about “doing art right”
- You’d like a space where your expression is enough, and want to find simbler ways to express yourself.

Reflections From Within Gentle Art
I didn’t expect to love it this much. It gave me space to do something creative every day without overthinking it.
My life is chaotic right now. I almost didn't sign up because I thought it would be too much. I'm glad I did. I miss it now that it's ended.
I did this with my kid. It was fun to make art together. It became a little pocket of daily creativity for us both.
Still Wondering About The Details?
-
You have access for a lifetime.
-
You don’t have to do all seven days in a row...or even in the same week. Art doesn't always follow a linear timeline in order for it to matter.
Most people dip in and out when they can. That’s okay.
And once you start you might find that it's easier to keep going than you thought!
P.S. you can sign up and reregister for the email prompts as much as you like! Reset the frequency whenever you'd like.
-
Yes. Art supplies are not included.
But you don't need special art supplies. A pen, paper, and 3 coloured pencils are all you'll need.
Plus, each prompt has alternatives so you can adopt the creativity to how you feel in the moment.

I’m a therapist, and I created this to support wellbeing but this course isn’t therapy. And it’s not a substitute for clinical care.
7 Days of Gentle Art is a creative resource grounded in human wellbeing, not diagnosis.
You don’t need to process deep emotions to benefit from it.
This course is about presence, creativity, and the quiet impact of making time for your art.
-
Not at all. This is for you. You don’t need to post, explain, or show anything to anyone. If you do want to share, you’re welcome to, and the Instagram page is shared in the course, but reflection is optional, and privacy is part of the practice.
Not everything needs to (or should!) be shared with the world.
