Events
At Enlivened Studios, we host two kinds of gatherings—each one designed to spark connection, creativity, and a little bit of magic.
YES! Sessions are in-person, improv-inspired workshops for grown-ups who want to loosen up, laugh, and connect with others through playful storytelling. Think adult recess meets soul-refresh.
Virtual Workshops are perfect for workplaces looking to energize their teams and build trust through fun, meaningful interaction.

"Yes!" Session — Summer Camp Bundle
Welcome to “Yes!” Sessions: A Playful Reset For Us Grown Ups (Summer Camp Bundle)
We’re wired for connection and creativity. But life is full -- of “shoulds,” of swirling calendars, of constant motion.
No wonder we crave deep breaths and moments to exhale. Ideally, in spaces that let us be fully ourselves.
YES! Sessions are part adult recess, part storytelling circle, and part soulful mini-retreat.You’ll play, reflect, connect, and leave feeling more alive—in an intimate, joy-filled space where everyone is welcome.
YES! Sessions are for you if you’re craving:
Community—new friends, neighbor vibes, and a brave space where everyone belongs
Freeform play… just because!
A reminder of how creative you already are
Joy, laughter, and full permission to drop into your stories and your self-expression
✨ No experience, no script and no pressure. Just a shared "brave space" to show up and see what unfolds. ✨
We’ll use prompts, storytelling, improv-inspired games, and small group shares to explore how we show up, listen, and co-create in the moment.
Think: connection meets creativity, in a cozy, retreat-style setting.
✨ No experience needed. No script required. Just bring your full self. ✨We can't wait to see you!
Summer Camp Bundle

"Yes!" Session_June 22nd
Welcome to “Yes!” Sessions
We’re wired for connection; for shared moments of play, and for the kind of creativity that unfolds when we step into the unknown, together.
Join us at the Sausalito Art Bloc for an afternoon of playful exploration, story-sharing, and loads of creative goodness! Through improv-inspired exercises and a little bit of joyful uncertainty, we’ll tap into what it means to connect, practice presence, adapt, and co-create in the moment.
Come as you are!
Bring a friend or meet a new one!
And let’s discover what’s possible when we make space to play and build, in community together.
✨ No experience, no script and no pressure. Just a shared "brave space" to show up and see what unfolds. ✨
The workshop will start at 1:30pm and runs until 4pm. Please be on time. :)
Our time together:
We will spend some time at the start, establishing a shared space together, that feels comfortable and alive.
After that, the bulk of our time will spent in small groups -- following game and storytelling prompts -- with larger group share-outs, to spurn moments of shared clarity.
We'll wrap up with a closing ceremony before we say our "See ya next time!'s.
This is not a performance workshop. It's an improv-inspired adult recess where we'll use our imagination to create and share, in small groups and through larger group shares. In a well-facilitated, brave space where absolutely everyone and every idea is welcome.
Guaranteed joy.
A few NEW pricing options: I’m offering a few pricing tiers to make this gathering accessible to more people. Please choose the tier that best fits your current circumstances. No application, no judgment—just shared trust and community care.
Access Tier – $40 For those who need a little financial wiggle room. Your presence matters, and this rate helps keep the circle open to more folks.
Community Tier – $50 This is the true cost of putting on the workshop and supports me in continuing to offer these gatherings sustainably.
Supporter Tier – $65 If you're able to pay more, this tier helps subsidize Community pricing for others—and fuels the future of this series.
Buy 1, Get 1 – $65 Bring a friend! Let’s build community together.
Choose your own adventure, and see you soon! 💃🏼

Session II EnlivenUp! Kids: Improv to Learn and Live By
When most of think of improv, we think of people making things up on the spot, totally unscripted. We think of a comedy show or maybe Saturday Night Live. We may think of it is a simple artform. After all, there's no script to memorize!
Yes, and...guess what?
Improv is also a treasure trove of life skills that help us be better humans through play, connection and creativity. It is fun and silly. Sometimes totally outrageous. And most all the time filled with laughter.
Sounds pretty great, right?
In this fun-filled 6-week journey, we will play with skills like listening, supporting one another, confident idea sharing and practicing a "Yes, and..." mindset.
How? Through games, themed practice exercises and mini-performances within the group.
Joy and laughing and awesome memories are guaranteed.
