To assist in stopping the spread of COVID-19 I elected to move online and sincerely hope you and your loved ones are connecting as we move through this arduous time.

• CAREGIVING FROM A DISTANCE. A conversation via Zoom.   Let's focus our energy, hearts and minds to bring forward the best of ourselves in the worst of situations.  What matters most as we are caregiving at a distance?  Free with registration.

• AN ART WORKSHOP via ZOOM.  Are you a caregiver who could benefit from increased energy, momentum, and calm?  Are you interested in new methods of approaching life as you are faced with continual change?   
  

·      Notice behaviors challenge perceptions of living.

·      Experience grief and loss along the way.

·      Learn how to turn current understanding into new narratives and practices. 

·      Energize.  Refresh your creative-self and reset your compass

• ART RETREAT.  To be scheduled with a small group using social-distancing methods. Time to examine our beliefs and discover practices that will center and shape each “home-base”, a place to begin again after each and every change. Using the still life, literally, and as a metaphor, we’ll employ creative processes to reflect and gain understanding.  Make art. Discover guidance through expression.  Painting will be our primary visual method and you may also collage, write, and/or bring in movement.  If you’ve lived for more than two minutes, you are already creative.  It’s fascinating.

  Recognizing the need for these in yourself and others guarantees your situation may have been, at times, overwhelming; you may have been frustrated with the system; and/or sadness may have launched forth unexpectedly.  Yes, indeed.  Vulnerability allowed us to feel and acknowledge our way.  I myself preferred not to. Feel that is—you may have already guessed that didn’t end well.  I learned the hard way; you have better options.

We come as we are.  We gather, work together, rest and recharge.  You’ll have support and guidance.  Insights from the group help us invent new ways to surf changes, honor and support those we love, and make meaning of this life.
