1st & 3rd Mondays each month, I open my studio to share painting, collaging, and creating with fellow creatives. The wisdom of Julia Cameron's Artist Way material and other creative spiritual practices will be folded into our time together in an unstructured way.  The studio is small and only 3 tables for creating (plus one for me, the organizer) are available. I will provide a still life, music, 3 tables and water for aqua media, a sink for cleaning brushes plus work station set up and tear dow …

This group is offered as an exploration of creativity, sound, voice, and music, as tools to deepen our experience of everyday life. We access the sounds in our environment as well as in our own bodies - our breath, voice, silence, and resonance as human beings. We may explore meditation, yoga, singing, art, food, nature, writing, or any other aspects of human expression. Circles are led by a rotating members from a cohort of sound healing practitioners trained at the California Institute of Inte …

Following the theatre improv principles of "Yes, and...", non-judgment, and deep listening/participation, we have FUN with sound and music, made from instruments and our own bodies. This is like an adult PLAY group using music. So what does this have to do with CREATIVITY, TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, COLLABORATION, and KNOWLEDGE SHARING? Improvisation requires MAKING THINGS UP, MAKING DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, LISTENING, and PARTICIPATING. Give and take. Offer and receive. Lead and fo …

Wondering what "life coaching" is all about? Are you standing at a threshold and asking, "What's next?" for you in your life? Wanting to connect with some clear-minded, sincere, and supportive people? Come into the circle! After years of Ivy-League education and living my life based on Other People's Expectations, I have finally learned some tools that work for bringing me in touch with my own source of inner peace, joy, and freedom, to live life on my own terms. I'm excited to share these with …

Do you wish you were making more art, or even any art at all? Does your stomach turn inside out at the thought of a blank canvas? Or do you have a heck of a time completing a project? Do you find the artistic process at times absorbing and gratifying and at other times miserable and uncertain? Do you want to keep making art anyway? Would you like a bit of support from others who struggle with the same issues? This is not, I repeat, NOT a group for critiquing each other's work. This is a g …

This group is for those who love to draw, doodle, illustrate or generally be creative! There is no level of drawing expertise that you specifically need to have to participate. Stick figures are most welcome, and in fact, can be quite hilarious and awesome! Its challenging to find time to do art when you are busy living life, and if you love art and wish you did more then these meetups will be a solution for you. There will be time for free drawing at each meetup, but mostly there are themes fo …

We all want our businesses to "bear fruit." As a woman solo entrepreneur and creative-preneur, the journey can be a lonely one - especially if you work from home. It's so easy to get stuck "doing business in your head," not really reaching out, sharing your ideas or building your resources. Come as you are. All stages of business welcome. Learn from and be encouraged by other women who are traveling the same path. Be prepared to share your tips, advice and meaningful experiences in a comfortable …

As a woman trying to conceive or going through the adoption process, you have probably felt any or all of these: impatient, frustrated, stressed, "am I doing this right?", scarcity and lack, afraid, worried, doubtful, alone, jealous, scattered, unsure of yourself. The purpose of this group is to cultivate inner stillness, peace and calm surrounding you and the choices you make on your fertility journey. By doing this, we teem the soil and create rich, fertile ground in ourselves so that we can g …

(Please note: This is a women-only gathering) Ancient Belly Dance was once a sacred, sensual dance, made by women for women, to honor and invoke the mysteries of life. It was a space for women to safely express their wild beauty and desires, and sacred emotions of joy, sensuality and even grief. The ancient dance was a pathway to invite and channel the Divine, and prepare and celebrate a birthing mother-to-be. I teach ancient belly dance as an embodied spiritual practice of sensual movement, med …

You can't wait for inspiration to strike, you have to drag it to the table! Why pay for an expensive workshop when the message is always the same: to be a writer you have to write! Come write with me once a week on Wednesday nights. Two hours of intense writing will be followed by an hour of sharing and feedback. All are welcome! Stay as long or as little as you like. Meetings will rotate around different Santa Cruz bookshops.

Tell me if any of these sound familiar: “I just wish I had the time — then I’d do my creative thing.” “I want to… but I don’t have the talent. I’m not creative..” “My stuff just isn’t good enough.” “How can I justify spending time creating, when there are so many really important things I have to get done?” “I want to create so badly, so why do I always end up procrastinating?” “I’m a very creative person but unable to find a way to express myself.” “I have lots of huge, long term projects start …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …

The new “sharing revolution” helps people build community, save money and use fewer resources, benefiting the well-being of both people and the planet. People are involved in sharing skills, cars, houses, and working areas. They’re engaged worldwide in "hour banks," lending clubs, gift circles, free exchanges, and other locally-based projects. The commons is exploding in new ways to share, exchange, or gift skills, tools, food & produce, gardening or meeting spaces, and just about everything els …

This a group for anyone interesting in sketching or journaling in the South Bay places. Let's get outdoors and sketch whatever we are drawn to or an scheduled time to journal. Then we can meet at a coffee shop to go over our sketches or writings with no pressure to be good. Let's go out for the practice and the pleasure of the pencil hitting the paper. Looking forward to meeting anyone interested in joining these activities.

I have had a dream for many years, of getting together with like-minded artists and sharing our current works or visions or ??? The term, Salon, comes to mind when I visualize this. And as a FIBER ARTIST, I would love to connect with other FIBER ARTISTS. There are many ways that I know of to create my own fabric and I would like to meet with others interested in this end. My long range personal goal is to focus on my area of expertise, which is traditional batik. I would like to do a series of w …

This is a group for women 50+ in the Fremont and surrounding areas, who want to build new, positive-focused friendships with other like-hearted women. Perhaps you are like me and have lived in the area for some time, but worked elsewhere and have not had the opportunity to meet other women in the East Bay? I am missing that sense of community and support that great lady friends offer. Women have so much wisdom, love, and compassion! Let's talk about the lives we lead and share what we have learn …

This meet-up is for people who are currently working through or are interested in working through The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. The goal of this group meetup is to provide a safe and supportive space where people can discuss and share their personal experiences related to the 12 week course. In other words, it's like a group Check-In (as referred to by the book itself ;) As you can imagine, I created this group because I'm currently working through the Artist's Way (third times a charm)and …

I dream of gathering a bunch of wildly creative fiber people and working on the same object at the same time somehow. The goal would be to see just how uniquely we could combine our talents and create something unusual, funny, bizarre - but mostly have fun playing with possibilities by connecting fibers. I think of the quilt circles where all the quilters are working on the same quilt. Well, they are usually kind of working independently but they are working on the same object. And it's more int …
