Karen Hanlon, founder of Painting Your Soul, is a featured presenter at Canyon Ranch Tucson’s Besties Week, running July 27 through August 2,
2026. The week celebrates friendship, connection, and shared self-care — and Karen is leading a signature expressive-painting session as part of the programming.
Drawing on the same six-step process at the heart of Painting Your Soul — journaling, aromatherapy, affirmations, guided meditation, and painting — Karen’s session entitled The Art of Letting Go invites guests to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and process emotion through creative expression. It’s a natural fit for Besties Week, where the goal is meaningful time spent with the people who matter most.
Karen brings over a decade of experience as a certified art therapy practitioner, author, and international speaker. Painting Your Soul was named Best Emotional Therapy Program of 2024 by Best Holistic Life Magazine, and Karen has shared her method with audiences worldwide, including at the 2024 Global Woman Summit in London.
Guests joining Besties Week at Canyon Ranch Tucson can experience Karen’s session as part of the resort’s all-inclusive programming. To learn more about Painting Your Soul, book a workshop, or bring the program to your own event or organization, visit paintingyoursoul.com.
