Where art, nature, and connection come to life.

Blooming Diversity is a transformative community

that celebrates art, nature, & diversity.

We are a community of women artists from diverse backgrounds coming together to find inspiration, belonging, and growth. Our adventures spark curiosity, creativity, and fun. Through exploration, meaningful conversations, and artistic experiences, we grow, heal, and build community.

We thrive on outdoor adventures, forest walks, art events, and learning about the land and its culture. We celebrate friendship through picnics, hikes, and exploring nature together—swimming in lakes, hunting for orchids, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. We embrace the joy of being outdoors and experiencing art.

We are a bunch of Calgary artists & creatives

A vibrant community for nature lovers and art enthusiasts seeking connection with the community, the natural world, and their inner creativity. We thrive on outdoor adventures, forest walks, and learning about the land and the culture. We grow, heal, and find belonging through meaningful conversations, artistic and cultural experiences, art events, mentorship, and professional development.

We are here to feel connected, inspired, & grow.

Blooming Diversity connects people to nature and helps them find a place to belong. Our nature adventures are planned to inject curiosity, creativity and fun. In our walks, we learn about the land we live in and the names of the things: rivers, mountains, flora, and fauna. We share stories and exchange the richness of our backgrounds. We celebrate friendship in picnics in the mountains or city parks. We love swimming in lakes and rivers and bathing in the forest. We hunt for orchids, moss, mushrooms, and the best spots to see the fall scene. We also hike in the winter on warm winter days.

Going hiking with Milena & Maya has been amazing. it helped me connect with nature deeply. I noticed things I never saw before when I drew or painted plants, animals or landscapes. Drawing nature with light and shadows makes me curious and amazed me. I love observing the colours and textures. Thank you Milena & Maya

Hiking with Blooming Diversity has been a beautiful experience. As an artist, I find inspiration in nature. Walking, sharing experiences and admiring colours helped clear my mind. Talking with others who understand the artistic language an d love art inspires and nourishes my artistic practice. Thank you!
