STORY PARLOR IS CLOSING SUNDAY 2/1 FOR EXPECTED SNOW AND ICY CONDITIONS. THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO FEB 15.
Nourish yourself through the power of community, connection, and creativity in this monthly drop-in group that invites you to reflect, share, and engage with what it means to live a whole creative life. Whether you are looking to engage with other creative seekers, reset your creative soul, or just need an encouraging space to practice creative habits—we’ve got you!
Sessions begin with a theme and a short group reading from books like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, Make Your Art No Matter What by Beth Pickens, We Need Your Art by Amie McNee, and more. The facilitator will guide the group through gentle grounding exercises, discussion, and playful invites to spark connection to your inner creative child.
This is a come as you are space. No advanced reading or prior creative practice is required.
