Sharing is always optional, with the gentle reminder that we can often learn so much from each other as we hold space with compassion and curiosity.
This experience is intended to reconnect you to your inner knowing and surface something that would benefit from your attention and presence in a creative way, held in community. Bring your favorite eye mask if you wish, as well as an explorer mindset.
