Creative Pause Calendar

Last year, I began sharing something very personal with a small group of close friends: my healing practice through creativity.

I called these gatherings Creative Pause.

What started as a simple idea has now become a year of meeting, creating, sharing, laughing, crying, hugging, and simply being together—allowing whatever feelings are present to have a place at the table.

For me, Creative Pause is exactly that: a pause.

A time to take care of myself.
A time to create without expectation or judgment.
A time to quiet my ever-thinking mind, look inward, and somehow transform what I am feeling into whatever I happen to be creating that day.

Along the way, I have explored different creative mediums, and each one has taught me something new—not only about art, but about myself. Sometimes the result is beautiful. Sometimes it is unexpected. And sometimes, the process itself is all that matters.

I have intentionally kept these gatherings small, creating a safe, intimate space where we can let our guard down, connect, and give ourselves permission to simply create and be.

This is the beginning of a new chapter for Creative Pause, and I am excited to share more of what happens inside these gatherings—and some of the art that comes from them—here on my new website.

Our next Creative Pause is Sunday, September 20th.

If something about this speaks to you and you would like to be part of the next gathering, I would love to hear from you.

Perhaps you need a pause, too.
