PURPOSE

Healing is political. Pretending otherwise doesn't make the work neutral, it just makes the politics invisible.

I created this space for practitioners, educators, and healers to come together to actively share resources, exchange insights, and offer support and connection. Guided by the belief that collective study enriches our professional practice, this is a space for learning, for deepening our understanding of arts-based practices, and for fostering connection with others doing this work.

This circle centers non-clinical, process-oriented, and community-based arts practice. Clinicians are welcome as peers. This is a space for peer learning, not clinical training or supervision.

Questions

  • An online learning community where we gather to learn, listen, and support each other.

  • We meet monthly on the third Wednesday of each month, except for holidays. Membership is month to month, and you can cancel any time.

  • This is for you if you’re an arts facilitator, educator, cultural worker, or healer looking for a community of peers doing similar work.

  • I believe that as arts practitioners our work is inherently political, and attempts to detach arts-based practices from social issues is misguided and detrimental. Whether someone can access or afford our services, has the privilege to set aside time to engage in art making, or feels welcome in our workshops is political. By studying together, we sharpen how we show up in our work.

  • Sessions draw on diverse readings and shared knowledge to deepen understanding, surface areas for growth, and work through real challenges together — all in service of using art-making to help change the world.

    This circle centers non-clinical, process-oriented, and community-based arts practice. Clinicians are welcome as peers. This is a space for peer learning, not clinical training or supervision.

  • Yes. Absolutely! This space is co-created and peer-led, if you’re interested in leading a session, facilitating an activity, or have ideas for how we can enrich our time together, I encourage you to reach out.

  • Write to me. A few spots are held at a reduced rate so cost isn’t what keeps someone out.
