Join Mikalina Kirkpatrick for two hours of low-stakes, open-ended creative process time in a facilitated community setting.
All materials will be provided.
Suggested donation for materials and facilitation: $10 per adult. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
We will be creating on 11x14 mixed media paper. If you wish to bring your own notebook for the purpose of creating an art journal, feel free to do so.
Each Creativity Cafe will have accessible and open ended themes and activities to serve as a jumping off point. Participants will be guided in a way that helps us open to exploration, experimentation, process, and expression rather than focusing on trying to achieve a particular outcome or end product.
We’ll lower the stakes, loosen up, and remember that play is the origin of the creative impulse.
Humans of all ages are welcome to join. Kids must have an adult present.
Attendees are not required to do the activity of the day, feel free to come on in to create what is calling you.
Creative Expression is resistance to empire!
Creative Expression is a fundamental human impulse!
Creative Expressions brings us to life!
Creative Expression is vitally important!
Come join us!
About Mikalina: Mikalina Kirkpatrick (they/she) has been involved in the facilitated creative process world since 2013 when they joined a Wild Writing circle with Laurie Wagner. Over the last decade plus she has both participated in and facilitated both writing and visual art circles that emphasize process and experience over end product.
Mikalina wholeheartedly believes:
that creativity is an inherent human trait that all people have the ability to access
that creative play in groups creates a sense of community that has ancient roots
that participating in the act of creation is a deeply life affirming act, spiritual act
that adopting regularly visited practices of creativity as a low-stakes, experimental, play-oriented activity can be one of the most intuition-flexing, personal truth-revealing, and heart-opening things we can do for ourselves
