Introducing…

Feelings Club

Through art, reflection, and community, you’ll care for yourself during the busy holidays, reflect on the past year, and set intentions for the new one—all without the pressure to be "an artist."

Meet your host

Hi! My name is Rukmini Poddar and I’m the author and artist behind Draw Your Feelings.

I’ve spent the last 8 years drawing my feelings and teaching others to do the same.

I created Feelings Club because I believe everyone deserves a space to explore their emotions and transform them into something meaningful—even if they’ve never picked up a paintbrush before. I’d love for you to join us as we close out the year with reflection and intention.

Express yourself like your mental health depends on it (because it does).

We know the pain of not expressing our true selves, of holding back our pain, and also our joy. We have gotten used to living small and silent. But not anymore.

Creative expression is an essential part of healing. It isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity and allows us to share what is real, honest, and true.

Heal Your Inner Critic

It IS possible to heal our inner critic - through authentic expression and self compassion 🎨

Connect to your Heart

Process your emotions with our monthly prompts, workshops, and member gatherings. We are all about feeling our feelings! ❤️‍🩹

Creative Freedom

 FAQs

  • Of course you can join!

    If you feel hesitant about making art then I would say this membership is especially for you.

    My goal is to teach you to create art that is HONEST and MEANINGFUL. Whether it looks ‘beautiful’ or not is a byproduct.

    But my workshops are themed around self acceptance, dismantling the voice of our inner critic, and creative expression. If any of this calls for you, I think you may enjoy the feelings club - whether you feel you are artistic or not.

  • Short answer: expect new content added MONTHLY!

    Longer answer: There is 6 months of content already added, plus weekly e-mail updates and monthly workshop content.

    The membership is designed to be a thematic experience, so I create content centered around the month’s themes.

  • There is currently no trial period. I have found that it's better to have members who are ready to commit to the experience, rather than try out a free trial. This way, it ensures that members who join are committed to the process and the experience.

    However, if you are unhappy with your membership experience, you can e-mail me at dearruksi@gmail.com, and I am happy to refund you.

  • Yes!! Through the Circle app, you can easily access the platform on your phone or ipad as well.

  • I understand - It’s very natural to not want to share our innermost feelings online with people we may not know.

    Please know you are not pressured to share anything unless you want to. That being said…I also know many people who have surprised themselves by how much they enjoyed sharing. Do what works for you.

  • I totally get it!

    Several people have quit their Feelings Club memberships just because they didn’t have the bandwidth for another online commitment.

    My only suggestion is to approach this experience not as another “thing” on your list of commitments, but rather as a solid support system for your emotional health…and see how that shifts your perspective.
