The Artful Being School

About

The Artful Being School is a creative meditation and intuitive art studio located at Church Street Studios in Waynesville. Founded by artist and meditation facilitator Liane Ricci, the school offers guided experiences designed to help people slow down, reconnect with creativity, and restore a sense of calm and clarity.

Through a signature 5-week Journey series and Saturday Creative Meditation sessions, participants are guided from meditation into intuitive mark making and painting. No art experience is necessary. The focus is on presence, nervous system regulation, and creative exploration rather than technique or perfection.

The studio offers visitors and locals alike a meaningful, arts based wellness experience in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Whether you are seeking a reflective afternoon activity during your mountain stay or a deeper multi week immersion, the space provides an intimate and welcoming environment for creative renewal.
