creative practice facilitation in a small group.
Creative Practice Facilitation is a partnership with Rebecca and the group in a thought-provoking and creative process that empowers confidence in one’s own potential. Creative Practice Facilitation is oriented toward developing self supporting habits and promoting creative mind. Creative mind is proven to increase a sense of ease and possibility in oneself, which is an important way of navigating life's challenges. Spending time together, all hands engage in learning creative practices that can be practiced anytime while not in session. The doing will be the creative work and discussion while remaining open to the being self’s thoughts, questions, ideas and memories that may arise as part of the process of creativity. This is truly an offering for creative practice resiliency and proactive mental health development.
Workshops scheduled
Summer 2026 : Cultivate Creativity Naturally. Thursdays, August 13, 20, 27, 5 - 8pm
Onsite at Denver Botanic Gardens Fee: $190 member, $225 non-member
Like tending to a garden, creative productivity grows from healthy roots in healthy soil. In this three-part workshop, use collage and other approachable media to engage in practices of self awareness to develop your own creative resilience. Each session tones your creative muscles as you tune into your own intuition and beliefs, learn about the breadth of the creative mind and put theory into practice. The course may be taken for Botanical Illustration elective credit. Most materials are supplied.
Fall 2026 : Grief is a Garden, Collage and Meaning Making. November- Dec. (Saturdays 9:30a - 12:30pm)
In this 5 session collage-based course at Denver Botanic Gardens, participants spend time in the gardens and in the classroom to explore how to visualize feelings, wishes and memories that are difficult to express in words. Grief is often misunderstood as a sad mind state, but it can also be considered rich and dark like a healthy “soil” from which growth, meaning and beauty can be found.
Partial scholarships are available by contacting Melinda at SBAI@botanicgardens.org

Art can be difficult to relate to in a gallery exhibition space, so Home Safe is a method of experiencing creative work in a domestic setting wherein art’s intimacy takes precedence over objectification. Creative professionals share in the work together and join in dialogue, taking advantage of the comfort of home to showcase and focus on creative psychology and the “WHY” of what we do and make. Always, a meal is in the deal.
