Professional Development

Join Hanna Satterlee in this half-day workshop to engage in multiple creative practices as a pathway to meet your muse! As weather permits, we will spend time both outdoors and inside the beautiful sanctuary, and will fluctuate from working on our own to engaging and sharing with the group.

No previous start to a project needed; this workshop is an embodied invitation to dive inward to your own creative well and see what is ready to be expressed!

Please bring a journal and pen, water and a snack!

Join an expert arborist and aerialist team for a unique outdoor workshop where you learn the ropes of climbing as well as flex your creative spirit from the safety of harness dancing. For any curious movers - aerialist, climber, researcher, dancer, arborist, acrobat, explorer - ascend into a world of aerial exploration and personal discovery with nature as your creative backdrop. No prior experience necessary, just your desire and openness to move your body and commiserate with nature.

CONTEMPLATIVE CREATION

THIS IS FOR YOU!

Commit to a dedicated creative work session once weekly for four weeks and see what arises! We will spend time both bringing ourselves into internal reflective practices, as well as creating and sharing with new collaborators across the group.
