A practice of blending art therapy wisdom + ritual + play
The Art Rituals
“Making is an act of remembering ourselves”
Creativity here is not about results or performance — it’s a gentle, healing process. Rituals don’t need to be spiritual to be meaningful; they simply need intention. Art becomes a space for curiosity rather than perfection, a place where everyone is welcome exactly as they are. We believe everyone is creative, and that making with our hands is a quiet way of remembering ourselves, returning to what already lives within us.
Hi, I’m Leeanna
I create virtual art rituals that invite you back into your body, your hands, and your sense of wonder. Working with clay, paint, and natural materials, I create spaces where creativity can emerge slowly, freely, and without demand, offering gentle structure without pressure and creativity without perfection.
The Art Ritual is not therapy, but a supportive, sensory-rich space that can beautifully complement your existing wellness practices. I believe making is a way of remembering ourselves and that creativity belongs to everyone, exactly as they are. Here, you are invited to slow down, play, and let your hands lead.
Upcoming Studio Circle
This month’s Art Rituals invite you to explore the quiet, powerful ways we shine: through creativity, resilience, compassion, memory, and self-expression. Inspired by summer light, ocean treasures, and the ripple effect of small acts of care, RADIATE is about honoring what naturally glows within you and allowing it to be seen.
Throughout June, we will gather virtually to create meaningful art experiences rooted in reflection, storytelling, and play. Each ritual is designed to help you reconnect with your inner spark and consider how your energy, creativity, and presence impact the world around you.
All rituals are held virtually on Sundays at 8PM EST.

Mixed Media Keepsake Boxes
In this month’s opening ritual, we will transform small Altoid tins, jewelry boxes, or miniature containers into radiant treasure keepers inspired by the ocean and summertime nostalgia. Using seashells, beads, charms, pearls, dried flowers, glitter, found objects, air dry clay, and/or hot glue, participants will create decorative keepsake boxes that hold small reminders of joy, memory, and personal meaning.
Together, we will reflect on the idea that even the smallest objects can carry beauty, magic, and emotional significance. These tiny treasure tins become symbolic containers for what we wish to preserve, protect, or remember.
This ritual encourages participants to slow down, notice the details, and reconnect with childlike wonder through tactile art-making and intuitive decoration.
Suggested Materials:
Altoid tins, jewelry boxes, or small containers
Seashells or beach finds
Air dry modeling clay and/or hot glue
Beads, charms, rhinestones, pearls, buttons
Acrylic paint or paint markers
Glitter, stickers, ribbon, lace, or trinkets
Optional: small written affirmations or notes to place inside
Reflection Prompts:
What treasures have shaped who I am?
What memories or qualities do I want to preserve?
What small things in my life bring me light?

Small Actions, Lasting Ripples
This reflective ritual centers around the well-known “Starfish Story,” a tale that reminds us that even small acts of kindness and intention can deeply impact the world around us.
Together, we will read and reflect on the story before exploring the question: What is your starfish? In other words: What small action, offering, gift, or quality do you carry that has the potential to create meaningful change?
Participants will create symbolic artwork inspired by their personal “starfish” using drawing materials, paint, collage, writing, or mixed media. This ritual is less about perfection and more about reconnecting with purpose, compassion, and the ripple effect of showing up authentically.
In a world that often pressures us to do more, bigger, faster, and louder, this ritual serves as a gentle reminder that radiance can begin with one intentional act.
Suggested Materials:
Paper, sketchbook, or canvas
Paint, markers, or colored pencils
Magazines for collage
Scissors and glue
Optional: natural objects, seashells, journal paper, or photographs
Reflection Prompts:
What is something small I do that matters?
What kind of energy do I want to radiate into the world?
Who or what has been a “starfish” in my own life?

Radiant Self-Portrait Collage
For our final June ritual, participants will create expressive self-portrait collages that celebrate identity, authenticity, and inner light. Using magazines, photographs, words, textures, digital media, or found imagery, we will explore how to visually represent the parts of ourselves that deserve to be seen and honored.
This ritual is not about creating a realistic portrait. Instead, it is about creating an emotional and symbolic reflection of the self: your energy, your becoming, your softness, your power, your joy, your complexity.
Participants are encouraged to think beyond appearance and reflect on what truly makes them radiant. Through layered imagery and intuitive composition, this process invites self-celebration, visibility, and creative freedom.
This ritual closes the month by honoring the courage it takes to be witnessed fully and to shine without apology.
Suggested Materials:
Magazines, printed images, or personal photographs
Scissors and glue
Paper, poster board, or sketchbook
Markers, paint, oil pastels, or pens
Optional digital collage apps or design platforms
Optional embellishments such as glitter, fabric, pressed flowers, or stickers
Reflection Prompts:
What parts of myself deserve more visibility?
When do I feel most radiant and alive?
What does it mean for me to “let my light shine”?

“I would attend anything and everything Leeanna has curated. She doesn’t just think about the actions or projects we will do. She will orchestrate a playlist of meaningful music, incorporate a guided meditation, a poem or a special insight, and transform the space into a tranquil experience. For those of us who don’t do this for ourselves enough, to have someone thoughtful enough to have done it for us is an absolute magical treat."
