the art of self compasion

Artful acts of self-return.

What to expect

Step into a bright studio in downtown Vancouver Olympic Village and spend a morning with Sharon Storoschuk and Chantal Gagnon exploring the potent intersection of art-making and inner listening. Using playful mark-making, guided visualisation, and gentle somatic prompts, we’ll show you how to quiet the outside noise so your intuition can speak through your hands and onto the page.

Why This Matters

Many of us long for deeper self-trust, yet perfectionism and self-criticism keep our inner voice muffled. Creative practice – especially when done for process, not product – offers a powerful shortcut past old blocks. By embracing raw lines, splashes, smudges, and spontaneous gestures, you give yourself permission to be perfectly imperfect, compassionate, and courageously vulnerable.

You’ll Leave With

• A repeatable toolkit of low-pressure art prompts to ignite intuition anywhere.

• A felt experience of self-kindness and emotional release.

• Fresh confidence to show up, messy edges and all, in life, work, and relationships.
