Why Healing in Hues Is One of the Most Meaningful Things to Do in Baltimore
Healing in Hues bridges creativity with emotional well-being, giving participants a meaningful space to explore identity, color, and community. In a city that thrives on its arts and culture, this event stands out as both a joyful celebration of self-expression and a gentle invitation to reflect inward.
A Serenity-Inspired Color Palette for Emotional Wellness
At the core of Healing in Hues is a serene, soul-soothing color palette designed to support emotional wellness and self-reflection. Each color was chosen with intention to align with the workshop’s theme of Serenity:
-
Pale Sky Blue – evokes clear skies and mental clarity; associated with calm thoughts and peaceful communication
-
Soft Lavender – symbolic of spiritual balance, emotional healing, and gentle transitions
-
Dusty Sage Green – grounding, reminds us of quiet nature spaces and steady growth
-
Creamy White – pure, clean, and full of possibility; represents fresh starts and inner peace
Participants will use these calming hues in their own handcrafted affirmation earrings, learning how to let color guide their design choices while engaging with chromotherapy principles that date back to ancient holistic healing practices.
Dopamine Dressing: How Color Affects Your Mood and Confidence
Dopamine dressing refers to wearing colors that spark joy, confidence, and positivity. In this workshop, you’ll explore how color influences your mood, motivation, and daily self-perception—and how you can intentionally dress to feel your best. Under the guidance of style therapist @styletherapywithsam, you’ll discover how to translate your personal palette into wardrobe choices that are expressive and empowering.
Sam Smith is the founder of Style Therapy™, a wellness-centered style consulting practice that blends fashion, emotional intelligence, and self-empowerment. She creates supportive, reflective spaces where participants can explore how their personal style connects to identity, confidence, and healing. One attendee shared, "After participating in the wardrobe discussion, I learned to stop worrying about following the trends and to focus on being okay with my own style and what I am comfortable with!"—a powerful reflection on how intentional dressing can shift confidence and mindset.
By the end of the session, you’ll not only leave with handmade jewelry but a deeper understanding of how color can be used as a form of emotional wellness.
Experience Color Therapy Through Affirmation Jewelry
Color is one of art's most expressive elements, directly connecting to human emotion and psychological states. Through mindful art-making, participants gain insights into their emotional landscapes, using color intentionally to shift moods and express internal experiences externally.
Healing in Hues emphasizes art's therapeutic role by encouraging participants to create wearable pieces reflecting their emotional intentions. By doing so, the artistic process becomes not only a means of creative expression but a vital pathway to emotional clarity and balance.
