ART CLUB starts in 1 hour! ๐จ๐ฆโจ๐ง๐๐ท๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅฅ๐๐บโฌ๐
creativity + embodiment virtual community meetup
Iโm holding space to Be together for some soft space and โstill-processingโ time in our Art Club zoom meetup today (Wednesday 6 September)
5-6pm BST (time converter here)
Quiet space to gather and practice/process via your creative outlet.
No expectations / โlevelโ / requirement to participate.
We check in, iโll offer a short embodied creative prompt to take/leave, then weโll have a quiet pomodoro session with cameras on/off where youโre welcome to explore your own practice/project (bring something or use this as free space)
After the session, thereโs an option to stay on for 15 mins for a tea + chat, whether to share what you were / are exploring in your practice.
This is available for free to paid subscribers but if you donโt have the means and want to be in gentle community for a space to land, please reach out here and i will send you the link to join us. Paid supporters of a space to land โจ can access the Zoom Room link below.
๐ Hope we can co-create a gentle space for the tenderness of Being.
Many of you have been to events like this with me over the years, but if youโre not sure what to expect, scroll on!
What is Art Club?
Art Club is quiet time in virtual community (via zoom) to focus on our creative and embodiment practice and process.
Mirroring (sometimes called body-doubling) can be helpful to some to support task initiation and finding focus. Being in community can help us to remember our interconnectedness.ย ย
Itโs for those of you who are looking for some quiet company and gentle accountability.
Things you might explore during ART CLUB could include:
๐ Writing morning pages
๐ฑ Landing in yourself / touching grass
๐ Readingย
๐งถ Knitting
๐ฏ Writing a poem
๐น Taking yourself on an Artist Date
๐ก Spending time with an idea
๐บ Mind-mapping
๐ Designing
๐ฌ Editing

All whilst breathing and Being.ย
How does this work?
Hereโs a rough guide!
Embodiment check-in / prompt to create a space to land
We check in to share our intentions via the chat + please note: your intentions can CHANGE cause we invite the EASE and SPACIOUSNESS into this community space (but it can help to have a starting point you feel inclined to explore which also includes finding a starting point for something youโd like to exploreโฆ!)
Offering of a mantra / encouraging words from wise elders and peers will be shared 4u to take/leave
Dionne will share a playlist you can take or leaveย (vibing to it currently, hope it will provide soft-focus-dreamscape vibes!)
We mute and find our focusย with a 45 minute Pomodoro session. Optional camera on/off - can help to be โonโ for accountability but you choose what is โseenโ
We check-in 5 minutes before closing the official session
Option to stay on for 15 mins tea + chat post-session to share what you were / are exploring in your practice.
What should i bring?
Any tools which youโre exploring in your practice, and if youโre not sure, a pen / pencil and some paper is more than enough to create
Pets VERY welcome to this portal!
Bring any sensory tools/ aids for comfort/delight
Hydration aids and snacks and anything which helps you feel comfortable
