Create.Heal.Grow.
Connection & Renewal
Create.Heal.Grow is a monthly workshop series designed specifically for women to ignite your creative spirit in a welcoming, nurturing environment. This is therapeutic arts—a space for creative expression and personal connection—not art therapy or clinical treatment.
Each month features a unique theme, allowing you to explore different aspects of creativity and authentic self-expression. This isn't just a hobby or craft time—it's a sacred space to connect with your soul, process life's experiences, and express what words cannot capture.
Unwind, take a breath, and join us for an evening of meaningful artistic exploration where you can reconnect with your inner wisdom while creating alongside other women on similar journeys. Whether you're seeking creative renewal, emotional release, or simply a deeper connection with yourself, this workshop provides a judgment-free sanctuary for reflection and growth through the creative process.
Perfect for both seasoned artists and those who haven't picked up a paintbrush since childhood—no experience necessary, just an open heart and willingness to explore.
What to Expect
- Monthly themed creative wellness workshops
- BYOB welcome environment
- Therapeutic arts approach for personal growth
- Small group community for connection

Our Approach to Creative Development
At Pachis, we believe in honoring each person's unique creative journey. Our programs are designed to meet you where you are, providing the perfect blend of challenge and support for your developmental stage.
Unlike traditional art classes that focus on replication and technique, our process-focused approach emphasizes authentic self-expression, emotional development, and creative confidence. We provide the environment, materials, and guidance—you provide the imagination and exploration.
Each program builds upon the skills and experiences of the previous one, creating a cohesive creative journey from toddlerhood through adulthood. This intentional progression nurtures not just artistic abilities, but essential life skills like problem-solving, emotional regulation, and creative thinking.
