The Art of Being

Mindful Creation For Inner Peace: A 6-Week Art & Wellness Journey

STARTS IN MARCH!

This 6-week Art & Wellness Program invites you on a journey of self-discovery, creative play, and inner peace. Each week, you’ll explore a unique art project designed to spark joy, release stress, and nurture personal growth. No previous art experience is required — just a willingness to explore and express yourself.

Through grounding techniques, creative exercises, and personal reflection, you’ll learn how to use art as a tool for emotional well-being. Each week, you’ll leave with a completed art project that reflects your journey and grows. 

Who Is This Program For?

This program is for people who:

• Feel Overwhelmed by Stress or Daily Life – If you’re constantly on the go, this program offers a space to pause, breathe, and create.

• Want to Reconnect with Their Creative Side – You don’t have to be an “artist” to create beautiful, meaningful art. This program focuses on process over perfection.

• Desire a Sense of Calm and Clarity – The grounding exercises, breathing techniques, and reflective art practices help you cultivate calm and mindfulness.

• Long for a Moment Just for Themselves – If you give so much to others (family, work, etc.) and forget to prioritize yourself, this program gives you the permission you need to make time for you.

• Want a Safe Space for Self-Expression – Whether you’re looking for clarity, inspiration, or just a creative outlet, this program encourages you to express your inner world through art.

Why Me?

I’m Josie Ane Sakura, the founder of Hearts Your Life and the creator of this 6-week Art & Wellness Program. My journey into art and wellness has been anything but linear — it’s been real, raw, and deeply personal.

In 2013, I became a 200-RYT Certified Yoga Instructor, learning the power of grounding in the present moment. Later, in 2020, I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner, understanding how energy, intention, and inner alignment influence our well-being. These practices became guiding principles in my life — but I’m still human.

After the birth of my children, I faced mental and emotional challenges I didn’t see coming. Life felt heavy, and I found myself searching for a way back to me. That’s when art called me home. Art became my refuge, my release, and ultimately, my spark. Through colors, textures, and free creative flow, I rediscovered my sense of self and the power of joy in small, simple moments.

This is why I created this program — to offer others what helped me: a chance to reconnect with themselves. This isn’t about painting pretty pictures or getting things “right.” It’s about learning to let go, explore, and come home to yourself. Each of the 6 weeks offers a different way to connect with your center, because I believe that life isn’t one-size-fits-all. We all have different paths to clarity, calm, and creativity, and I want to give you the tools to find yours.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, searching for inspiration, or just want a safe, welcoming space to explore your inner world — this program is for you. I’ve been there, and I’m here to guide you with compassion, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
