Description

A " retreat" for anyone looking to have a quiet space to let the creativity flow within a small community of fellow creatives. This event was dreamt up after I realized how hard it was to decide to make time and to have the right space, to do the creative things I love, but maybe don't always feel "productive". Or may even feel like a selfish use of time because there are so many other things I could be doing instead that are "more productive". Not to mention, sometimes, you just want to create but you also want the company of others doing something similar but without the obligation to communicate or impress. There's a sense of community and inspiration when we gather in a space together to spend time letting our creative juices flow and lead the way. Just because we can. So, I'm making time and space for myself and others to be able to do this regularly! Do you have a creative talent or a hobby that you love to do but don't always make time for? This event is the perfect opportunity to set aside time for yourself to do that thing you love to do but just don't prioritize in your busy schedule or you don't have the physical space to do it in that feels comfortable or inspiring. It will be a safe, cozy, inviting, and inspiring place to come and let those creative juices flow. The first half of the event is a time to meet some fellow creatives so it involves some light mingling and a brief time of getting to know other creatives in the community who have shown up just like you. After talking with others and hearing about what they are there to focus on, you can have some personal quiet time to focus on that thing you love to do. Whether it's drawing, writing, thinking, journaling, coloring, knitting, reading, designing, editing... or something else, there's a space here to come and have a creative retreat! For this event, we ask that it be something relatively quiet so it's not distracting to others. Connect with me if you have questions regarding this! It's 2 hours long, however, you may come and go as you please, we ask that you be respectful while people are taking that quiet retreat time if you need to leave early. There will be a variety of spaces to get comfortable such as desks, tables, couches, chairs, pillows on the floor, etc. Feel free to bring whatever you need to get yourself in a space to create such as a blanket or headphones (light background music will be playing while in the retreat time). There will be more private rooms/spaces if you prefer that, or community spaces to share. We would love to see you here as we meet once a month to give ourselves the time and space to do something we love and that is simply good for our souls. Come slow down, offer your mind and body time to unwind and create! Contact me with any questions!
