No art skills? No problem! Just bring something to scribble with (yes, even a post-it and pen counts) and experience firsthand how playful expression can rewire your brain for more calm, clarity, and resilience.
Profoundly creative, deeply healing, and unlike anything I’ve encountered before.
Through CJ's guidance, I wasn’t just making art; I was unlocking something in my body that had been stuck for years. Her seamless fusion of movement, mindfulness, and creative expression brought relief to my chronic foot pain in a way that was both unexpected and tangible. I could *feel* the healing happening in real-time.
CJ’s approach is revolutionary. She doesn’t just teach art or play—she facilitates transformation. If you’re looking for a way to engage your nervous system, express your soul, and experience genuine healing, her classes are a must.

🔬 The Science Behind Why C.J's Magic Works
This isn’t just a “nice thing to do for yourself” (though it is). It’s a necessary tool for navigating this world. Engaging in creative, process-driven activities like the ones we do in Radical Reflection LIVE is scientifically proven to:
🧠 Improve Cognitive Function & Focus – Creative play strengthens neural pathways, helping you process information more efficiently and solve problems faster.
💡 Boost Innovation & Decision-Making – Stepping away from linear, logical thinking and into creative flow enhances big-picture thinking and intuition—both critical for work performance.
😌 Regulate Your Nervous System – Creativity activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest state), reducing cortisol levels and preventing burnout.
🎯 Increase Productivity – When you regularly reset your nervous system, you work better, faster, and with more clarity. (Translation: less procrastination, more getting sh*t done.)
🎨 Unlock Your Brain’s Superpower
Ever tried drawing with your non-dominant hand or using both hands at the same time? It might feel a little awkward, but this kind of movement activates both sides of your brain, strengthening the connection between logic and creativity.
✨ It helps you process emotions faster
✨ It reduces stress and improves focus
✨ It gets you out of your head and into flow
That’s why the process-driven time we create together is so powerful—it’s not about making perfect art, it’s about giving your brain exactly what it needs to regulate, reset, and reach full potential.
Creativity as self care is a RADICAL act in a culture that glorifies hustle & burnout.
