Quick announcement and a favor…

I’ve been feeling more helpless and overwhelmed with every wave of news headlines. How about you?

Hearing from some of you, I know I’m not alone in this enormous struggle. I keep asking myself what is mine to do.

And finally, an answer came!

But I need a little help from you before I bring it into the world.

The answer involves community and creativity. Not just another meeting, but coming together and creating something in a circle of creative community, exploring creativity as an act of resistance!

I’ve used art materials to experience and process all kinds of feelings: joy and fulfillment, anger and disappointment. Creativity is a path to a different, more intuitive inner knowing, one that has nothing to do with right or wrong, other people’s opinions, or the metric of productivity.

Creating in community is a way to support each other, learn something new, and step away from the doom-scrolling for a bit. Working together, we can help each other find our voices and embolden our expressions. Our creative efforts can repel the forces that want to keep us scared and despairing, paralyzed with fear and silent.

Have I riled you up yet?

I’ve brainstormed some powerful techniques for each creative session and I’m hoping to release the first one in just a couple of weeks. But before I do, I’d love to get your input on the format and structure. Can you help me out?

Thank you so much! I appreciate you.
