Women’s life journey —

The mini courses

The Mini Courses are great on-ramps to self development, supporting you along life’s winding journey.

Suzanne’s Art + Well Method

I design each course with my unique blend of creativity, mindfulness, and neuroscience along with traditional life-coaching strategies.

So, while I firmly believe that “play” and “fun” are not taboo for adults, rest assured, you won’t be making any craftsy macaroni necklaces. I create for mature women with a blend of sophistication, insight and playfulness.

The Basics

STRUCTURE: 1 Mini Course = 4 sessions, 2 hours each, on Zoom

CONTENT: Each session explores a topic related to your Mini Course’s Big Idea

LIFE-PLAY PROJECTS: You create at least 1“Life-Play” Project per session. (Keep scrolling for more about Life-Play Projects.)

RESILIENCE LIFE-PLAYBOOK: At the conclusion of the Mini Course, you will have created a personalized “Life-Playbook” with go-to strategies, talismen, and Life Play Projects that you can use again and again.

TIME COMMITMENT: About 30 days. We calendar the 4 sessions in advance around your schedule and mine. I recommend 1 session per week to build momentum. Time needed outside of sessions is tailored to your lifestyle.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Everyone! Beginning, recovering, and experienced creatives welcome.

ART SUPPLIES NEEDED: No need to buy fancy, expensive art supplies. I provide you with a list of the basics with links to Amazon.

CREATIVITY CARE PACKAGE: Each Mini Course includes a personalized “Creativity Care Package” of my favorite special, magical creativity supplies, bits of whimsy

TUITION: Mini Course tuition varies for private 1:1 courses, small groups (under 7 people), women’s groups, and nonprofits. Contact me for more info.

Choose a Mini Course That’s Right for You

I curate each Mini Course around a Big Idea with related topics that women have told me they need support with. Currently I am offering:

The Rejuvenation Jumpstart

Give Yourself Permission
Practice Letting Go
Nurture Self Kindness
Find Balance & Calm

The Game Changer

Rediscover Your Identity
Root Out Your Core Values
Workout Blind Spots and Roadblocks
Navigate Transitions

The Creativity Lifestyle

Embrace Process over Product
Cultivate Empathy
Open to Subtlety and Nuance
Envision New Possibilities and Potential

I created this Life-Play Project based on the art and methods of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Life-Play Projects

During each session you create at least one Life-Play Project related to that week’s topic, such as “transitions,” “letting-go,” or “self kindness.” I guide you through a series of easy, step-by-step exercises that culminate in your Life-Play.

Within each Life-Play, you experience creativity exercises, active mindfulness (see my DoodleTATE meditations), and reflection.

Everything you experience is backed by neuroscience. If you want to learn more about your “Creative Brain Superpowers,” and how you can spark deeper and faster growth, click here.

Life-Playbook

By the end of your Mini Course, you will have created a Life-Playbook with at least 4 Life-Play Projects! These are your go-to resources for further personal development and ongoing resilience.
