Creative Connection Practice: Excavate

Moving into Spring, we have the opportunity to clear away the debris and look at our foundations. Choosing what stays, what goes and what emerges. Is there conditioning that you are searching to release and what would you build in it’s place?

Join us in an exploratory art project and see what emerges for you!

What would it mean for you to connect to your most authentic self through creative practice?

Michelle Gay and Lucy Nobles invite you to an in-person exploration of your creative self, while building community with a small group of folks from the greater Portland area.

Experience a fun, playful space to create and engage with many forms of creativity.

As a means to connect with your deepest, truest self, you will:

• try new things in service of connecting with and learning about yourself.
• discover, build, and grow your unique gifts, creating a different perspective of how you show up in the world.
• take an intuitive, lighthearted approach to creativity.
• explore what is in your heart and be a witness for the people going through the same processes with you.

This is not about learning a new skill or making beautiful art pieces.

This is about exploring the connection between self and creative expression.

We believe in community-based pricing, where folks with greater means can contribute to making our services available to all.

Now priced as a sliding scale from $55 - $95. Includes all supplies and Eventbrite fees. Please refer to this article from Hadassah Damien to learn more about sliding scale pricing and understand how our thinking is informed.

Supporter = $95. For folks who are financially comfortable and would like to support equitable sharing of resources with their community.

Standard = $75 - use code SEVENTYFIVE. For folks who are financially stable and have some expendable income.

Community =$55 use code FIFTYFIVE. For folks that don't have a lot to spare.
