Welcome. I’m Shannon.

I’m so glad you’re here.

If we’ve never met, there’s one thing I’d love for you to know:

I don’t think creativity belongs to artists. I think it belongs to all of us.

It lives in baking bread, tending a garden, writing a letter, painting with children, arranging flowers, telling stories, sharing meals, changing your life, following a quiet inner nudge, and making something simply because it brings you joy.

That’s the heart behind everything you’ll find at The Evergreen Table.

A place for creativity, connection, and belonging.

A place where you can feel more like yourself.

Where you can let down your guard, make something with your hands, spend time in nature, have an honest conversation, follow your curiosity, and remember you’re not alone.

My Story

For a long time, I believed creativity belonged to other people.

Artists. Writers. People with “real talent.”

Then, in my twenties, someone handed me The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.

One small invitation changed everything.

Instead of trying to become creative, I simply began.

I painted. I kept art journals. I wrote. I made things badly. I made things joyfully.

Little by little, I discovered something that changed my life:

Creativity wasn’t something I had to earn. It was something I had to remember.

That realization became the thread connecting everything that followed.

A Life Created by Hand

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: Artist. Writer. Yoga teacher. Retreat leader. Coach and mentor. Podcast host. Mother. Gardener. Bread baker. Flower Essence Practitioner. Illustrator. Storyteller.

Looking back, I can see they were never really separate paths. They were all ways of helping people come back into relationship with themselves, with creativity, with nature, and with one another.

Sometimes that happened in a yoga room. Sometimes around a retreat table. Sometimes in a private conversation. Sometimes through writing, painting, bread, flowers, or a letter in the mail.

The form kept changing. The heart of the work did not.

Why The Evergreen Table?

The Evergreen Table didn’t begin as a business.

It began as a way of living.

It grew while baking sourdough on Friday mornings, growing flowers in the backyard, painting watercolor at the kitchen table, writing letters by hand, hosting gatherings, walking woodland trails, and watching my boys make things simply because they loved to.

One day I realized these weren’t separate interests. They belonged together. Because underneath all of them was the same longing:

to feel more present, more creative, more connected, more human, more alive.

And maybe most of all, to create spaces where we don’t have to perform, prove, or have everything figured out.

Spaces where we can breathe. Make things. Talk honestly. Laugh. Dream. Begin again.

The Evergreen Table became a place for all of that.

What We’re Remembering Together

We’re remembering that creativity belongs to everyone. That beauty often lives in ordinary moments. That making something with our hands can bring us back to ourselves. That nature has something to teach us.

That joy matters.

That meaningful connection still matters. That we are allowed to change. That we don’t have to navigate every transition alone.

That there is room for curiosity, uncertainty, play, reinvention, and becoming. And that there is always room for one more at the table.

A Place to Come Back to Yourself

Some people arrive at The Evergreen Table because they want a letter in their mailbox.

Some because they want to make something. Some because they’re craving community.

Some because they’re moving through a season of change and need a safe place to talk honestly and listen for what’s next.

Some simply miss feeling like themselves.

You don’t have to call yourself creative to belong here. You don’t have to have your life figured out. ou don’t have to become anyone new.

You can simply arrive as you are.

Because so much of this work is not about becoming. It is about remembering. Remembering what makes you feel alive.

Remembering what you love. Remembering how to trust yourself. Remembering that your creativity matters. Remembering that you were never meant to do all of this alone.

My Hope for You

Whether you arrive because you’re looking for a handwritten letter, a loaf of bread, a watercolor painting, a creative gathering, a private conversation, or simply a little more beauty and connection in your life, I hope you leave with something quieter.

A little more room to breathe.

A little more trust in yourself.

A little more courage to follow what feels alive.

A little more permission to make, play, change, rest, dream, and begin again.

And the reminder that there is always room for you here.

I’d love to save you a seat.
