Session: Green
This month's watercolor session is inspired by the color green, a hue that strikes a balance between head and heart. Green represents Mother Earth and is the dominant color in nature, visible to the human eye across a wide spectrum. It encourages a healthy relationship with our emotions: those who lead with their feelings are subtly reminded to think logically when they see green, while more stoic individuals may find themselves becoming softer.
Embracing the soothing qualities of green in our artwork can be a form of self-care, allowing us to reconnect with nature and find inner peace through creativity. To bring this into everyday life, consider incorporating more green elements into your surroundings, whether through plants, decor, or clothing, to foster a sense of balance and harmony in your daily routine.

Read to feel A.OK
Don’t you dare climb that tree
or even try, they said, or you will be
sent away to the hospital of the
very foolish, if not the other one.
And I suppose, considering my age,
it was fair advice.
But the tree is a sister to me, she
lives alone in a green cottage
high in the air and I know what
would happen, she’d clap her green hands,
she’d shake her green hair, she’d
welcome me. Truly
I try to be good but sometimes
a person just has to break out and
act like the wild and springy thing
one used to be. It’s impossible not
to remember wild and want it back. So
if someday you can’t find me you might
look into that tree or—of course
it’s possible—under it.

Inhale no.01
The anchor for awareness in my self-care toolkit, I light it whenever I need to uplift myself, open up and breathe deep. It's a simple yet powerful reminder to inhale life fully, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
