En Plein Air: Summer Watercolor Series

Reconnect to nature through watercolor, movement, and mindfulness.

Join us every other Sunday from June through August for a guided hike and painting session at scenic spots around Virginia Beach. No art experience needed—just curiosity and a love of the outdoors.


How It Works:

  1. Begin with a warm welcome and your trail drink (coffee, tea, or iced functional water)

  2. Take a short, guided hike to our painting location

  3. Settle in, reflect, and receive a creative prompt

  4. Paint en plein air with nature as your studio

  5. Walk back as a group, carrying your new art and deeper calm
