I’d like to thank everyone who attended The Tao of Art Workshop, and special thanks to art therapist Katharine Houpt of Katharine Houpt Therapy and Counseling for sharing her techniques and knowledge to help make it an amazing experience!
The Tao of Art Workshop

Purple Cloud is proud to announce a unique workshop entitled “The Tao of Art,” featuring art therapist Katharine Houpt and licensed acupuncturist and meditation teacher Lorel “Sonny” Zaide.
