From a recent Open Studio....
and we listened to her colors,
and her ocean's abundance.
The grasslands would flourish
and the wolves would sing
What would the beavers build
How high would the salmon jump
running from their demise.
if only we would hear their words,
spoken in broken gestures.
Jeweled tones of running rivers
trill in harmonies unheard.
and listened to their song.

Thank you, Sue! May the powerful message of your image reach the hearts of many.
ONLINE OPEN STUDIOS 3 times each week
A space and time to show up and experience the gifts of your own creative presence.
We have been hosting 3 Open Studios per week since the end of March.
In the words of some participants:
"a lifeline in these times"...."something I look forward to all week"...."my time to connect with myself and with a community"...."a place I can show up as I am, with all my feelings"....."a safe cocoon of non-judgment and creative community"...."an amazing synergy"...."a time when I can uncover deep knowing through my images".
No art experience is needed
You can make art, write, move, stitch, play music.....just follow your creative impulses, in the privacy and comfort of your own home, while supported by a loving community.
Cameras and sound on for sharing times, sound off for art-making time.
We gratefully accept love offerings to help support Open Studio. If you enjoy and support these studio times, you are welcome to give as little or as much as is comfortable. If that is not an option for you, no worries. If you can give a little extra, and help support others who can't, that is wonderful. We are looking for ways to help sustain these much-loved and much-needed creative gatherings while operating all other aspects of our business and training
program and your love offering helps us very much. Thank you so much!
