OUR PURPOSE

is to inspire people to create EVERYthing (art, relationships, life) that brings them joy.

Our Purpose - Luminous Elephant Studios

We love to create beautiful, joyful art experiences that inspire a playful life.

Our hope is that by joining our upbeat little studio collective or joining us on our joyfully popular retreats you will be inspired to live passionately and create beauty in your art that will spill over into your daily life as well. We love sharing a space where we can all hang out and get to know one another.

Happy teachers will change the world.

The teachers at Luminous Elephant are handpicked for their gift of teaching from the heart – wildly creative, happy and kind-hearted, who develop authentic relationships with their students. Our teachers are quirky (in mostly good ways).

We are super selective about who we hire. Our teachers have to have heart and yes, "heart" is a bit cheesy. We're also a bit cheesy sometimes :)
