Note from the founder on Coronavirus and this new world

My heart goes out to all you kindred spirits, and our nation and the world, as we struggle with the multiple crises we find ourselves in, across the realms of health as well now as economic, social, political, environmental, inter-personal and intra-personal relations and education & parenting.  This is, indeed, a time of deep challenge.

    After initial attempts to move our in-person events designed to "Inspire Creativity and Build Community" online, I feel a deep call to stop trying to fit round pegs into square holes.  I need to step back, even further, to re-source and re-envision what truly and organically will serve in these times.

    Now in the summertime, while virus numbers are low in our community, I feel many of our strong desires to gather and create and dance -- safely. So we are offering a number of things, outdoors in our beautiful environs, with that chief in mind.

    I think these, like gardening, serve both to reap the sheer pleasure and nourishment from this garden-in-the moment, and also to sow the seeds for what we will need to sustain through winter. 

    I am sitting deeply with thoughts of winter and planning for the ways we can maintain deep and nourishing connections, to our own sources of creativity and spirit and to each other, regardless of what this pandemic may bring. 

    I realize more than ever, this is a time for us to both deepen into aloneness and develop our innermost connection to source as well as to come together and be creative in finding ways to maintain a safe physical distance, while developing new ways of Inspiring Creativity and Building Community.

    And it's a time to tend our hearts, to find the ways we can truly grieve without being overwhelmed and truly increase our capacity for joy.

     "Creativity is intelligence having fun." Let's figure this out!
