Inside the

Kumi Collective Studio

This is a place to set perfection down and follow peace instead.

Inside Kumi Collective, color becomes language.

Brushstrokes become a way of listening. Whether you're painting on large surfaces, layering images and words in a visual journal, or creating with materials gathered from outside, the work here isn't about performance. It's about process. Not toward a result, but toward something quieter.

Each experience is rooted in the Kumi Neuro Expressive Art Method — a gentle approach that draws on what neuroscience understands about creativity, the nervous system, and how we change. Not as a formula, but as a quiet structure that holds you while you unfold.

Live classes, recorded replays, a worldwide community of people making and meaning-making together. A studio that breathes.

What do we do in the studio?

Virtual Studio Experiences

Large‑Format Somatic Painting

  • This experience invites you to work on big surfaces—think large sheets of paper or canvas on the wall or floor. Drawing on neuro expressive arts principles, the process invites you to loosen your grip on your process.

  • Using broad brushstrokes, or even your hands, you explore colors and marks to release and embrace emotions that words can’t express. The focus is on the process, not the final product, promoting a mind–body connection and healthy brain wave activity, the best of neuroscience and deep inner work.

  • Expect sessions that combine relaxation and gentle embodied movement with painting. Participants often find this practice energizing, liberating and deeply grounding.

What to Expect

  • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy.

  • You’ll be guided through the gentle processes, then translate them into process painting.

  • Sessions usually end with group reflection to share insights and experiences.

  • Simple supply list, easy to set up at home.

Visual Journaling & Mixed Media Journals

Visual journaling is where image and word find each other. Gentle inquiry helps you say what's hard to say — not by analyzing it, but by receiving it. Letting insight arrive. The quiet aha that comes when something finally makes sense.

Color, collage, marks on a page. Something shifts when you work this way.

The practice is deeply researched — and quietly powerful. An image reaches the parts of experience that words alone can't. Writing alongside it helps you organize and gently let go of what you've been carrying. Together, they make room for something lasting. Not just relief — real change.

The studio asks very little of you — simple materials, an open page, a willingness to begin. What you make from there is entirely your own. Share what surfaces, or hold it close. There's room for both.

What to Expect

  • Gentle Inquiry

  • Time for personal reflection and optional sharing.

  • Gentle coaching on how to use visual journaling for stress reduction and insight.

General Environment & Community

A wide brush heavy with paint. A journal page slowly filling. A sumi-ink branch finding its shape. Each experience is its own kind of doorway — unhurried, and entirely yours.

Every experience is process-oriented — no finished piece to aim for, no right way to do it. What matters is what happens while you're making. Not what you end up with. However, what you end up with will be a treasured keepsake.

Sessions happen live, with replays there when you need them. There's also a warm community of people from around the world — making, sharing, and unfolding alongside you.

You don't need experience to begin. Trained facilitators meet you where you are, and each session is gently paced in a way that settles the nervous system as much as it renews your heart and mind.

And the work you make? It tends to surprise you. Not because you were chasing something beautiful — but because when you stop trying, something genuine comes through. Your expressive creations will be something you treasure.

Visual Journaling & Mixed Media Journals

  • Visual journaling blends imagery and rewiring language prompts to create a personal, reflective practice. Skillfully guided to work with neuroplasticity, you express experiences that might be difficult to put into words.You’ll understand the joy of imagery and translating your own work for deep understanding and insight.

  • Highly researched, this practice can provide a container for life’s more difficult experiences, offering calming reflection moments and mental renewal. Creating an image accesses the sensory aspects of experiences, while writing helps to organize and release unsupportive inner narrative.This goes beyond surface level expression and creates effective and long-lasting change.

  • In the studio, you’ll experiment with various mediums, generally cost effective, and to create pages that are fully unique to you. The specific prompts support you in activated neuroplasticity and useful reflection. You can share your insights in small groups or stay quiet and private.

What to Expect

  • Guided prompts.

  • Time for personal reflection and optional sharing.

  • Gentle coaching on how to use visual journaling for stress reduction and insight.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

RAVEN

VAN ASTEN

Raven Van Asten believes the most powerful well-being tools are also the simplest — and that real well-being doesn't require more complexity. It requires more presence. A stillness that, for many, is where faith begins.

She works at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and expressive arts — helping people slow down, find their footing, and come back to what matters most. Not through force or formula, but through a quality of attention that makes space for genuine change. The kind that moves from the inside out.

Her work moves across three worlds. Through Kumi Collective, she opens the studio to anyone who feels the quiet pull to create — offering membership experiences that gently blend expressive art and present-moment awareness into something that feels less like a workshop and more like finding your footing.

In her corporate wellness programs, she brings that same approach into organizations, building healthier, more human teams — brain-based tools and creative expression woven together in a way that actually sticks.

For mental health professionals and coaches, she offers training in her expressive transformational art methods — practical, deeply grounded tools for supporting emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and lasting change in the people they serve.

Every experience Raven designs draws on her background in psychology and expressive arts, and her certifications in Neuro-Mindfulness and Neuroplasticity Coaching. The mindfulness here isn't spiritual or esoteric — it's simply the practice of showing up, paying attention, and noticing.

What you experience with her and her trained facilitators is simply this: a space that feels safe, an art practice that feels right, and something in you that begins to shift — as though you were always meant to find your way back.

Does Raven offer private art sessions?

Yes. You can work with her as a VIP one-on-one. Book a call with her to explore further.

How can Kumi Collective programs help reduce stress?

Our programs are professionally run, and each student is supported with

renewing the mind and dusting off the soul, that is the intention.

Are your art processes messy?

No. The basic materials are simple to use. Your home or workplace setup can be very basic. A supply list is sent upon registration.

Do I have to be "good at art ?"

No. All skill levels are welcome. A sense of curiosity and willingness to try something new is all that is required. The experience is about being present, and the studio is a curated space - well-run and professionally guided.
