Upcoming Events:
Inspired States: Opening to Possibility and Creative Action
Inspiration transforms the way we see and act in the world. It arises when we encounter something that moves us, but its true power is revealed when it carries us forward into creative action. This session explores the psychology and neuroscience of inspiration alongside reflective and creative exercises that help us notice, sustain, and channel it. Together, we’ll consider what it means to transform moments of possibility into new ways of creating, connecting, and living with greater intention. Come ready to reflect, explore, and rediscover inspiration as both a feeling and a force for meaningful action.

Drawing Presence: Mindful Drawing for Well-Being Workshop
How can mindful attention through art transform the way we experience ourselves and the world around us?
This workshop explores the intersection of mindfulness, psychology, and creative expression as a pathway to wellbeing. Grounded in research on emotion regulation and the health benefits of the arts, participants will be introduced to evidence-based insights before engaging in a guided drawing practice that cultivates presence, mindful perception, and creative connection. Through reflection and shared making, we will explore how simple artistic acts can restore focus, support emotional well-being, spark insight, and enrich our experience of everyday life.
All are welcome – no art experience needed. Just bring your curiosity (and drawing supplies if you'd like to).
Presented by Creative Bond.

Seeing with Wonder: Accessing States of Awe and Creative Expansion
In our age of distraction, wonder offers a pathway back to authentic engagement with the world.

Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, contemplative, and creative traditions, we’ll examine what happens when we encounter something that moves us and how these experiences reshape our sense of possibility. Come ready to explore, reflect, and rediscover what it means to be truly moved by life.
