Creativity is more than just making art.

• It’s a way back to presence.

• It’s an antidote to self-doubt.

• It’s a means to forging real human connections.

Making these little tokens is my daily gratitude practice

For years, I’ve been handing out small, imperfectly-made art tokens — gifts of gratitude and appreciation that spark conversations, deepen presence, and remind people they are seen. What started as a personal practice has become a movement — an invitation to step away from digital distractions and create as a way of connecting.

Now, I want you to experience the same creative freedom — not through rigid techniques, but through a practice that offers a refuge from the noise.

What is The Ripple Room?

A monthly creative gathering inside my studio — not an art class, not a workshop, not a tutorial.

This is a space to practice courage, curiosity, and connection in real time.

Inside The Ripple Room, you’ll find:

• A judgment-free zone to converse, experiment, play and explore

• A place to get unstuck, ask questions, and receive support

• A community of kindred spirits

• Encouragement to use what you have

• A dedicated hour to step away from digital noise

There are no replays. No “catching up later.” This is an invitation to show up fully—for yourself, for your creativity, for this moment.

What To Expect

I will not show you how to paint the “right” way. (What is that, anyway?)

I will not give you step-by-step tutorials.

I will not talk about color wheels or harmonious palettes.

Instead, I will invite you to:

• Quiet the inner critic that stops you before you even begin.

• Embrace imperfection and create without fear.

• Shift how you see yourself and the world.

In The Ripple Room, we create side-by-side.

I’ll be working on my own projects, sharing what I’m making, offering insights into my process, and showing you how I embrace imperfection in my own art.

I don’t believe art is a product to be judged.

It’s a practice of presence.

Creativity Without Perfection

I know what it’s like to be busy, to doubt yourself, to tell yourself you’ll create later.

I also know that later rarely comes.

That’s why The Ripple Room exists—to give you a gentle nudge toward creative courage.

You don’t need a plethora of tools or supplies, just a willingness to play

• You don’t need expensive supplies.

• You don’t need technical skills.

• You don’t need to know what you’re making before you begin.

You just need to show up.

And if you’re here, reading this… You’re already halfway there.

Kindness Is a Verb—Let’s Practice Together

Kindness isn’t just something you give. It’s something you practice—through real conversations, genuine smiles, and moments of true connection.

It’s about being present not just for others, but also for yourself.

You don’t have to do it perfectly.

You don’t have to have the right words.

You don’t need to be a certain “kind” of person.

You just have to look up, reach out, and start.

✨ Read why these little tokens hold deep meaning beyond being just a nice gesture.

✨ Try out my gratitude token workshop — available as a free replay to all subscribers.

✨ Comment here — tell me what brings you joy.

An Invitation to Begin

If you’re ready to let go of perfectionism…

If you’re craving a space to explore creativity without pressure…

If you want to build a practice that nourishes you rather than drains you…

I will be waiting in The Ripple Room for you.

This is your invitation to step into real-world moments of connection.

Let’s make some ripples together.

With gratitude for your presence,

Mansi.

P.S. Whether you’re a free or paid subscriber, I’m grateful you’re here. Your presence, your comments, and your willingness to engage in these conversations help create ripples of connection far beyond this space. Thank you for being part of this journey.
