Then you dive in. Your paper comes pre-drawn with your sea turtle, and the palette is curated so you can focus on process, not guesswork.
Paulette will show you how to work with the water, not against it, encouraging you to loosen up and trust the magic. This class is perfect for beginners or for anybody who needs permission to play.
All supplies are included. You will be using professional grade watercolor paints, brushes, and paper. As an additional benefit to students, feel free to bring in your own supplies and Paulette can review them for you, before or after class.

Strength, Balance, and Style with Jen Shaver 🏋🏻♀️✨👗👚
Thursday, March 11th
11am - 12:30pm
Join us at The Community House for this class on health and confidence for women!
This program will focus on bone health, strength, balance, and maintaining independence as we age. Jen will guide attendees through a few simple chair-supported strength and balance exercises -- no floor exercises or workout clothes required -- and then she will share practical style considerations that support an active life. These would include supportive footwear, safe pant lengths, freedom of movement, posture, and simple ways to feel more polished using clothing that is already in their closets.
Jen would also bring a curated selection from Cabi's Spring 2027 Collection to help demonstrate styling principles. Attendees can browse the collection afterward, but any shopping is completely optional and secondary to the educational program.
Jen's goal is for each woman to leave with a few exercises she can practice at home, useful style tips, and a positive message about building strength and dressing for the life that she wants to continue living.
