Our membership is on temporary hiatus during Alex’s parental leave! Stay tuned for more info!
I see you, dear one. Are you someone who…
…craves the support of community, knowing that you make your best work and thrive when inspired and held by others?
…misses the environment of art school, or has always longed for a similar space?
…identifies with “weirdo” as a term of endearment?
…thinks nap-time and snack-time should be federally mandated work requirements?
…believes in the power of creativity as social justice?
…thinks that “work softer” should replace “word harder”?
…has a career path that feels more like a game of Candyland than The Game of Life?
…believes that a thriving community promotes thriving individual authenticity?
…wants to find creative & authentic ways to navigate life?
US TOO. LET’S HOLD HANDS.
Consider our membership “Pre-School meets Art-School”, a space where sharing-is-caring co-exists with transformative thought.
Our membership is an invitation to play, and a community where you can show up as your soft, vulnerable self! We honor BIG feelings & INTIMATE conversation.
Our Membership is for those who want to…
Show up in life as their true, creative self
Move in a way in this world that feels natural and supportive for our bodies
Thrive in a community of like-minded squishy creatives, and be seen, held, and supported in their journey.
Leave the world better than they found it (like a campsite!)
