Are you ready?
This limited-time group explores the concept of preparedness. It moves from discussions of practical considerations, like being ready for fires and earthquakes, to more existential ones, like being ready for the death of a parent, a pet, or even oneself. Through trauma-informed conversations around grief, loss, and traumatic reactions to intense experiences, we will create a space of community and holding for some of life’s biggest, scariest questions, and hopefully emerge feeling as ready as one can be to move forward with courage and enthusiasm in our uncertain and changing world.
Why Do We Create?
This limited-time, 6-week group brings together artists of all crafts and disciplines to talk about why it is that we create. To be able to express oneself through a creative medium is a sacred, mysterious, and often healing act. For many, it is the way that they feel most truthful to who they are, and most aligned with their purpose here on earth. This world, however, is structured around capitalism and productivity, which often extracts much of this joy and puts many artists in positions where they must compromise their vision or make choices for financial survival over creative truthfulness. This group aims to be a space to talk about these complexities, and ultimately come together in creative ways that lead to a meaningful shared experience.
