Welcome!
My name is Michelle Prince, and I'm so glad you're here.
I've been a practitioner and teacher of the healing arts and holistic health for over 40 years. Since 1999, I've worked in the Natural Products Industry, and as the founder of Holistic Menopause, I've supported women in transition for 20+ years.
It's 2026, and I'm excited to introduce my new Pour Painting Playshops and Mini Renewal Retreats! These all-inclusive experiences offer women a safe space to renew their body, mind, and spirit.
I hope you'll join me virtually, or in my SW Portland, OR studio!
Create Your Own Work of Art
Art for Renewal introduces Pour Painting Playshops, small-group painting experiences for women who want to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and enjoy the simple pleasure of creating something beautiful.
When life feels uncertain, heavy, or overly busy, creativity offers a pause, a shift in perspective, and a light-hearted energy. There is no right way to paint, no pressure to perform, and no expectation to be anything other than yourself.
All Supplies Included • No Experience Needed • No Mess to Clean

Creativity and Well-Being
Art for Renewal offers more than painting classes. It's a space for women to slow down and step away from daily demands. Many women spend so much time caring for others that they forget what it feels like to create something for themselves.
The simple act of painting can quiet a busy mind, soften stress, and awaken a sense of presence. There is something deeply nourishing about making something with your hands, especially when there's no judgment; only the freedom to explore.
Gathering with women adds another layer of healing. In a warm, welcoming setting, creativity becomes a shared experience that supports connection, laughter, reflection, and ease.
Coming together in this way can restore a lost sense of joy and self-connection, while gently reminding each person that wellness is enhanced by expression, community, and making space for what brings you alive.
Mind, Body, and Spirit Renewal
Know deep relaxation as your nervous system gently unwinds. Let go of the old patterns and outdated beliefs that no longer serve you, and make space for new ways of thinking, feeling, and living that reflect your authenticity.
Mini Renewal Retreats are immersive experiences that help make space for unlimited possibilities. You deserve nourishing time away from the demands of life, to reconnect with your wholeness and inner wisdom.
Choose from Mind, Body, or Spirit Mini Renewal Retreats, or create your own!
