"We've all got an imprisoned goofball girlie hiding inside who's terrified to be found out!" - C.S.

Let me guess... you're a high-achieving, people-pleasing, perfectionist-type badass boss woman who's always there for everyone else, and you fully intend to get around to yourself next. Except something else always comes up. It always does.
That used to be me too. Somewhere along the way, I got lost in my own to-dos and commitments. Nobody ever handed me a contract saying I had to trade crayons for a calendar because I was a "responsible adult." (Was I???). But for a long time, I kept putting everything else in front of it and literally felt my soul shrink because it was starving for what lit it up and I kept ignoring it... until one day I woke the fuck back up and put the color back in my life, and my soul lit up the way a kid's eyes do the first time they taste chocolate.
An hour that's entirely yours? Obviously. Does coffee keep you out of jail?
You'll fit right in if:
You've mastered running a household, a team, or both, and forgot somewhere along the way that YOU also get to have fun
You've said "I don't have time" about something that would've taken an hour, tops
You're the one everyone else leans on, and nobody's asked lately what YOU need
You've perfected the fake smile. I'm here to break that shit! We don't do fake here, we do real so drop the mask and be your true self.

And you're not doing this alone in a Zoom square either. You're playing next to other women running their own households, teams, and businesses too, women who get exactly why you needed this hour, without you having to explain it. That's a room worth being in, not just an hour to fill.
Here's what actually happens after an hour of UN-Adulting: you get back to your inbox, your team, your kids, your to-do list, with more patience and sharper focus than you had walking in. That decision you'd been putting off? It's no longer sucking away your mental energy. Decision made, NEXT! That meeting you were dreading? You show up for it with confidence instead of surviving it.

Your nervous system finally got to exhale for a full hour, coloring with total joy and freedom, the way you did before anyone told you crayons were for kids. That calm doesn't stay behind when you log off, it rides shotgun with you for the rest of your day.
So no, this isn't "an hour of crayons." It's the thing that makes you better at literally everything else, and you don't owe anyone a productivity explanation for taking it.

You've never once lost an argument about how the dishwasher should be loaded. Bring that same unshakable confidence here. You get to make art your way because there's no "right" or "wrong" way at 5 Dogs. We aren't chasing perfection. Instead, you'll learn to value the process more than the outcome and appreciate your wonky lines. You make it your way, perfectly imperfect, like you.
There's nowhere to drive to, no bag full of art supplies you need to take with. You don't even need a sitter if you have your kids home with you. Instead, you join class from Zoom from the comfort of your home. Sweatpants, pajama bottoms, yesterday's leggings you've worn three days in a row, nobody on this Zoom call is checking or judging!
Class is maxed at 15 to ensure everyone gets personal feedback, guidance, and a group to build real connection with. Each week, we hop on Zoom together and I walk you through a brand new project step by step, so you're never frozen the way your brain goes blank when someone asks "what's for dinner?" and you suddenly can't name a single food that exists. From there, you take it wherever you want using your own colors and expressions while learning to embrace your wonky lines.
My classes are basically a healthy dinner, plated to look like dessert. There's protein, carbs, and yes, even your veggies, stress relief, sharper focus, a calmer nervous system, all quietly snuck onto the plate. You're having way too much fun laughing and coloring outside the lines to realize you didn't actually order cake.
You get me in each class. I've spent years learning how to actually let myself play again, and I bring that knowledge to you and every class.

One of the great things about art is that you really don't need anything fancy to start. A thin black marker, some paper and something to add a splash of color will get you going, and we build from there.
Already have art supplies at home? Great, use what you've got.
If you don't, here's everything you actually need:
A thin marker of some kind
Paper, a little thicker than printer paper if you've got it (around 8x10 or 9x12)
Something to add color: crayons, pastels, colored pencils, and/or markers
That's it. Nice and simple! Anything else, paints, glitter, stickers, fancy brushes, is just for fun later if you catch the bug. You'll never need more than what's on this list to show up and play.
