Calling all artists—and those who want to be!

Join us for

The Gathering of the Creatives- Paint, Poetry, and Inspiration!

The place where your Art, Creativity, and Personal Transformation meet!

Led by SARK, Jacob Nordby, Flora Bowley, Q Gibson, and other creative teachers, this weekend event is all about expressing ourselves through painting, writing, and creative inspiration, and is open to ALL skill levels, ESPECIALLY if you've ever said something like "I'm not very creative." (remember, to be human is to be creative- it's your birthright!)

We believe that being creative is one of the forgotten keys to a happy and fulfilling life, and the experiential workshops at this event are designed to help you awaken and heal the connection to your inner artist!

SPECIAL FEATURE

Come to this open mic event on Saturday night to share your own poetry, listen to others—or both!

This is an experience of being seen and heard that can have life-changing benefits and help you get in touch with your inner voice. You are free to participate as a member of the audience and just celebrate the spoken word art of others, too.

Write your own poem ahead of time or do something spontaneous on the spot–either way, this is an electrifying creative experience for everyone. Don't worry... we'll start with instructions, so you'll know exactly what to do!

Each poet will have up to two minutes to share in this fast-paced event.

SPECIAL FEATURE

Remember "Show and Tell" from when you were a kid at school?

This is a grownup version of that. Except you don't need to worry about running into the kid who made fun of your drawing of a turtle that you brought to class. This is a safe, supportive place!

Whether you have a self-published book, a painting, something you knitted or drew—really any expression of your creative self is welcome here.

Like the "Popcorn Poetry" jam on Saturday night, each person who wants to share will get ninety seconds to show us what they've created and tell us about it.

Bring a treasure to display or come and applaud others who do. Either way, this is an experience meant to take you back to a time of innocent joy in creating something and showing it off.

We Can't Wait to See You In-Person Again! COVID-19 has required us to stay at home for now, but the energy and real magic of the in-person Gathering is something you don't want to miss. We have committed to meet in Santa Fe again in September 2021 provided that it's safe and healthy to gather in groups again! More information and announcements on that are coming soon.
