Creative Connection Practice

What would it mean for you to connect to your most authentic self through creative practice?

Michelle Gay and Lucy Nobles invite you to an in-person exploration of your creative self, while building community with a small group of folks from the greater Portland area.

Experience a fun, playful space to create and engage with many forms of creativity.

As a means to connect with your deepest, truest self, you will:

  • try new things in service of connecting with and learning about yourself.
  • discover, build, and grow your unique gifts, creating a different perspective of how you show up in the world.
  • take an intuitive, lighthearted approach to creativity.
  • explore what is in your heart and be a witness for the people going through the same processes with you.

This is not about learning a new skill or making beautiful art pieces.

This is about exploring the connection between self and creative expression.



Included with all workshops:
  • Worksheet and packet to take home with templates and additional supplies to recreate or add to your project, quotes, and journal prompts
  • Small group work of up to 10 participants
  • Guided and reflective group coaching
  • Creative warm ups and group reflection


Ticket pricing & details:

We believe in community-based pricing, where folks with greater means can contribute to making our services available to all.

Priced as a sliding scale from $35-$65. Includes all supplies and Eventbrite fees. Please refer to this article from Hadassah Damien to learn more about sliding scale pricing and understand how our thinking is informed.

Supporter = $65. For folks who are financially comfortable and would like to support equitable sharing of resources with their community.

Standard = $50 - use code FIFTY. For folks who are financially stable and have some expendable income.

Community =$35 use code THIRTYFIVE. For folks that don't have a lot to spare.

At any of these three prices you can also bring a new to us friend for free - available to select at checkout



When you attend these Creative Connection Experiences you can expect:
  • Get in touch with yourself, your inner landscape, and your intuition
  • Relieve stress by getting messy and allowing yourself to be imperfect
  • Improve brain function by learning and practicing something new
  • Build community, Improve your relationships and make new connection to others
