During our time of continued isolation, The Nest, and its access to a wonderful variety of creative materials, is closed. art + soul continues hold sacred space in the meantime, offering nurturing, curious space for soulful exploration via ZOOM and online events.
Here is a current list of things going on through art + soul:
Winter's Soul
Sundays, 1:00-3:00pm through April 25, 2021
A drop-in, come-when-you-want-to sacred space for contemplative learning and creating. Each week is a different experience, with a wide variety of themes and facilitators. Artists, writers, meditators and anyone else are welcome. Click here for the full Winter's Soul schedule:

Grief/Art Group, Wednesdays, weekly, 4:00-5:30pm: For those who have experienced a significant loss in the last 3 years. We gather, we check in and then we create, whether writing or art making.

(FULL)Friday Morning Women’s Creativity Circle, weekly, 10:00am-12:00: Easy peasy! Instant creative community! I send some prompts for possible inspiration early on Friday morning, we gather, check in and then work alone, together via ZOOM. At 11:20 or so, those who wish to share what emerged for them as they immersed themselves in contemplative creative practice, whether writing or art making, or bring the project you have wanted to start or finish.
(FULL)The Seeker’s Writing Circle
Saturdays, 9:00-11:00am
We go spelunking each week into the vocabulary of “spiritual literacy,” wrestling with words that we know but we don’t really know, words that nourish our spiritual lives, in whatever form they may take. We work with a word and unpack it over a series of thoughtful writing prompts, sharing as we feel are called to. This is not a writing technique group, but time for reflection and inner listening.
Beginning in February 2021!
Fluent: A Writing Circle to Tell the Holy Stories
Date/Time to be Determined: either Thursday afternoons or Sunday mornings, depending on the consensus of those interested, 8 weeks. Call it "spiritual memoir" or "spiritual autobiography," but ultimately it is an invitation to see your life through the lens of your heart and soul. What appears to be ordinary just may turn out to be extraordinary. All levels of writers are welcome, even if you do not consider yourself a writer. More information coming soon. Let us know of your interest by emailing: artandsoul.wm@gmail.com.
COST: Because the pandemic is stretching many of us thin financially, there is no charge for any of these offerings. Love offerings for preparation and facilitation are ALWAYS welcome. You can offer support in a number of ways: http://www.artandsoulwm.org/support.html
