Creatives Over Easy is a welcoming, drop-in gathering for anyone who wants to nurture a more intentional relationship with their creative life.
Creativity isn’t nourished by inspiration alone. It needs community, connection, conversation, and real care.
Together, we'll slow down over coffee and pastries for a short reading on a theme 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, Making Your Life as an Artist by Andrew Simonet, and more.
Through gentle grounding practices, meaningful conversations, and playful creative invitations, we'll make space to reconnect with your inner creative child and nurture a deeper, more
intentional relationship with your whole creative life. Whether you're arriving full of energy or feeling creatively depleted, you’ll find a place at the table.
This is a come-as-you-are space. No advance reading or prior creative practice is required. Morning pastries (including gluten-free and vegan options), coffee, and tea will be provided.
This offering is a recurring event in our Sunday Sessions program.
