​Jessy presented a painted prayer workshop at our summer grief series. 25 participants signed up with more on a waiting list.  Jessy immediately put everyone at ease as she created space for trust, vulnerability, tears, laughter, honesty and permission to be wherever each person was on their grief journey.

Through the use of storytelling, painting, conversation, music and prayer, participants were able to express through abstract art with guidance from Jessy what they may not be able to have words for. With the multitude of supplies Jessy brought with her, participants could find colors and use tools to create on their canvas what they were feeling in their heart. They were able to share them with others and receive support, validation and other's grace and wisdom.

The feedback was incredible with the only comment being when will Jessy be coming back to lead another workshop?! Friendships were made, hugs were plentiful, prayers were present and I believe each person left with a feeling of "I am not alone".  Jessy's workshop exceeded all of my expectations and I will certainly be asking her to come back in the very near future.

There is something so powerful that happens when a group gathers together for a Painted Prayer Workshop. Jessy has a beautiful way of creating such a safe space for your group to connect with God through exploring the art of painting. She helps participants navigate through the process and uncover messages that may be breaking through their paintings. 

Jessy is very personable and has such a passion and respect for peoples stories and life journeys. Jessy has led multiple workshops for us at Healing Hope and has been an integral part of our retreats. More times than not, participants say the Painted Prayers Workshop was their favorite session. I’d highly encourage you to book a Painted Prayers Workshop for your next retreat to lead your participants toward a deep connection not only with God, but with one another.
