A gathering place for busy intuitives and mystics who want to create as a spiritual practice.

You’re not alone. GO and DO are familiar. We’re taught to hustle. From social media to our work and life, the focus is on performance and product. Choosing the slow pace of creativity and soul care requires intention and presence.
Makers gonna make. Is your creative life oxygen for your soul? But you’re not breathing? I’ve been there. Every season of life has barriers and challenges to honoring creative practice. I see you. Parallel Play holds the time and space for your practice.
“The harder you chase something, the faster you go and the less you’re able to let life meet life. If you’re having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down…Creativity exists in the present moment. You can’t find it anywhere else.”
~Natalie Goldberg, author

Parallel Play is a term used to describe the behavior of young children who play alongside each other. It bridges the gap between solitary play and cooperative play. In the context of creative work, it refers to individuals working independently in a shared space or community.
Our purpose is connection and inspiration.
I know what it’s like to try and keep a creative practice alive in isolation. My creative life moved from survival to vibrant when I connected with other writers and makers. The muse visits when I create a predictable, safe space for my writing and painting. Is your creativity hit or miss? Or has it fallen off the calendar altogether? Small bites of habit and ritual are the medicine you need.
Community involvement helps you stay motivated and accountable. When others know your goals and progress, it can create a sense of responsibility and drive to remain present.
Finally, a community can offer collaboration, learning, and support opportunities. By sharing knowledge and resources, individuals can develop new skills and create even more innovative work.

The Maker’s Circle meetings are focused on our monthly theme with ideas for how we can grow in self-awareness and move deeper into our creative process. The Maker’s Circle meetings are different from the Meet My Friends Salons.
I will host a guest creative who will teach us about their process and ways we can grow as individuals through their practice and process. We will also learn how they weave spirituality into their practice. Q&A time will be made available for attendees.
Great question. Maker’s Circle meets live every Wednesday at 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST.
Meet My Friends salons will be announced each month in place of one Maker’s Circle meeting. The time will remain 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST.
No worries! Replays will be made available the following day and will remained posted for several weeks.
No drawing or painting skills required! This community welcomes and supports all creative expression.
