NOVEMBER PROGRAMS
Start Here
November 10th-20th
Mon-Thurs 10-11:30am and 6-7:30pm
Our beginner sessions, where we’re all beginners.
Get to know Conspire Studio’s creative inquiry practice and bring whatever in your life is calling for the energy of starting. We’ll spend some time with text and story and then drop into a bubbling pot of non-conversational art-making.
Although the container for each session will be the same, every session presents us with a chance to start exactly where we are, acknowledging that this varies from hour to hour and day to day. Each session will take a completely new shape informed by who and what is in the room!
We invite you to come as many times as you like in these first two weeks. The texts will vary from week 1 to week 2.
Your first session is free.
Breathing Into Shabbat: Holy Time
Friday Nov 21
5-6:30pm
Friday at sundown begins the Jewish holy day of rest and connection. In this session we will explore what it means and feels like to enter into the holy time of Shabbat.
You do not have to be Jewish to come to this program. This session is for Jewish, non-Jewish, and Jew-ish people and especially people who feel “not Jewish enough.” We’ll play with some Jewish and non-Jewish texts and bring our holy musings into the cauldron of non-conversational art-making, letting all our sacred and profane parts mingle as we exhale into Shabbat.
DECEMBER PROGRAMS
Dreaming in Exhale
Mondays Dec 1, 8, 15
10-11:30am
The Northern Hemisphere exhales toward the Winter Solstice, letting go into darkness.
Darkness, the place where the world can be remade, renewed again. This is a time of dreams. We sleep more during these lengthening cold nights. Our dreams bring us what we need to see and feel; the riches of our waking lives find us in our dreams, even our nightmares. In this 3-week series, we will explore, feel, and witness our dreams through creative process, in community. Come with new dreams, old dreams, recurring dreams, and nightmares. We feel and witness it all together.
Community Inquiry
Tuesdays Dec 2, 9, 16
6-7:30pm
We think of these sessions as a cooking pot.
In Community Inquiry sessions, we don’t start with a predetermined theme. Each member of the group offers what they’re bringing into the “pot” of inquiry and we stir it together, first with talking and ideas, and then in non-conversational art-making.
We wonder if, stirring this pot together, we can alchemize our individual stories over the fire of collective creativity, cooking it into something more delicious for all.
Collage Divination
Wednesdays Dec 3, 10, 17
6-7:30pm
An intuitive, imaginative drop-in space where we blend art-making and divinatory prompts to imbue the week with magic, community, and creativity. No divination experience needed.
Artists and Writers Cohort
Thursdays Dec 4, 11, 18
6-7:30pm
This supportive drop-in space is for creatives to nourish our process and work through common challenges including blocks, imposter feelings, and putting ourselves out there.
Eros & the Romance Myth
Fridays Dec 5, 12, 19
1-2:30pm
A three-session series in which we explore our internalized stories about romantic partnership, and creatively court Eros as a vital force moving through us regardless of our relationship status. The series builds on itself so we recommend taking all three, but drop-ins are welcome too.
Heartbreak for the World
Sundays Dec 7, 14, 21
2:30-4pm
A nourishing drop-in for making art in community. All feelings - grief, rage, devastation, numbness, etc- are welcome. We’ll lean into the metabolic magic of creative process in community.
