Curiosity, Creativity, and Community – Starts September 23, 2025 — 

What We’ll Explore Together

Over four weeks, we’ll move through the circles of relationship that shape our creative lives:

Week 1: Self – The foundation of your creative truth
Week 2: Family – The roots that nourish and bind
Week 3: Friends – The chosen family of your creative heart
Week 4: Other – Your creative gift to the world

Each week, we’ll use four lenses to deepen our understanding: Awe, Grief, Mercy, and Kindness—emotions that often accompany authentic growth and creative courage.

The Format

Each 90-minute session will include:

• Refreshments and informal connection time

• Facilitated conversations around the week’s theme

• Community building through deep listening and witness

• Take-home practices for integration

• Creative exercises to explore at your own pace between sessions

This isn’t therapy, though it may be therapeutic. It’s not a masterclass, though we’ll certainly learn from each other. It’s a circle—a space where your voice matters, your story has value, and your creative journey deserves both celebration and gentle examination.

Who is this for? You!

• If you are tired of your book club and want to be the author of your own story.
• If you spend way too much time scrolling, streaming, or searching and are ready to exercise your creative mindset. (I promise it is in there.)
• If you know yourself well enough that you need some accountability to get out of your regular routine.

Note: I use the word creativity a lot. Creativity in the context of this workshop is not about your ability to draw, paint, compose music, etc. A Creative Mindset is about being open to approaching life with curiosity and a world with possibility.

A Beginner’s Mind

I’m particularly excited about approaching this work with what Zen Buddhism calls “beginner’s mind”—that quality of openness, eagerness, and freedom from preconceptions that allows us to see familiar things in new ways. You may have reflected on these themes before. You may have done similar work in other contexts. Perfect. Let’s see what emerges when we bring fresh eyes to these eternal questions.

Why Creativity Matters

For starters, let’s be clear that creativity is problem solving, innovation, imagination. Learning to lead with our creative selves reduces stress, disrupts patterns, and invites in more joy. Consider this your invitation to revitalize your relationships and your routines with more ease and flow.
