R&D - Nov Edition

Join us as Danaé explores the power of consciously choosing discomfort over ease in our creative practices. Not as an act of self-punishment, but as a mindful strategy for growth, integrity, and alignment. Through personal reflection and practical insight, I'll share how resistance, difficulty, and deliberate friction can become tools for deeper presence, clearer purpose, and emotional resilience.
