Live Creative Jams & Workshops! Woohoo!
Lots of ways to gather in creative play through the end of the year & into 2024.
Mark yer calendars! October, November & December will be here before we know it…
• Sunday December 3rd, 2023: IMAGE WORD MYSTERY Creative Jam #1!
REGULAR! THEMED! CREATIVE! JAMS! TOGETHER! LIVE! Woohoo! I had to start here because this has been a year in the making and I’m so stinkin’ excited to kick this off:
This December I begin the IMAGE WORD MYSTERY Creative Jam Series based on the practices and play from my classes, workshops & intensives. (You can watch last year’s class weave above and hear the gorgeous poetry generated there in participants’ own voices.)
You don’t need to be a ‘writer’ or an ‘artist’ to play with us! I promise you’ve already got what it takes to get free and delight in the exploration.
Rekindle your sketchbooking or writing practice, or start a new one with us, and connect back to your playful, inner creator.
These themed gatherings will include: Poetic play, timed writing & drawing prompts, visualizations & meditations, audio-journeys, collaborative creation & improvisation, somatic exploration and time to witness & be witnessed in a circle of like-minded folks.
This creative play is radically anti-destination and situated firmly in the act of discovery.
Cost: An Image Word Mystery Membership: aka a paid subscription to this newsletter. Through the end of 2023, this pricing structure will remain $6 for one month -or- $60/full year access. In 2024, new subscribers will join at $8/month or $80/year ($6.67/month). If you'd like to know that you or someone you love has a whole year of this cozy creative container ahead of them, now's a great time to join me.
This subscription includes A LOT!: Creative Jams, community chat, weekly creative prompts, videos, original music and audio field trips, Creative Partnership Circle invites, interviews and other Lisette stuff delivered to your inbox or Substack app for the duration of your membership.
(I didn’t make this model up— several creators I adore are using Substack subscriptions as a way to support regular gatherings and I think it’s such a cool use of this platform. And it’s not a trick, you really can just pay for one month and drop in for the Creative Jam if that’s all you’re here for!)
*Making this work financially accessible is important to me because for a lot of my life cool shit like this was out of reach. If you can identify, I'm really invested in having you in the room and I hope this payment structure supports that.
If you do have access to wealth or financial stability and are able to contribute more to support this regular gathering at a market-rate, consider subscribing as a Core Patronage Member ($250) or using the Tip Jar to make an additional one-time or repeating contribution to my work.
Access: Online, Zoom link will be delivered to all paid subscribers one week prior to the event. Time: First gathering, Sunday December 3rd, 2023 11am-1pm US Eastern, 10am-12pm US Central, 8am-10am US Pacific (All times based on Central, please double check your timing against this one!) 2024 dates will be held mostly-once-a-month -- allowing for a couple seasonal breaks throughout the year.
And here’s where you can join me in October & November:
• Thursday October 26th, 2023: The Art of Dying Creative Death Cafe: “Good Endings”
Circle up with this beautiful community and bring your sketchbooks as we explore the topic of death and consider "Good Endings" through poetry, creative play and the magic of togetherness.
Cost: Free, Time: 2-5pm Pacific/ 4-7pm Central/ 5-8pm Eastern, Access: Online hosted by the Vision Train (Click “Jump on the Vision Train” or follow this link for direct access to the Zoom call.)
(I am not formally affiliated with Death Cafe, however this gathering follows many of the principals originating there. There are many groups gathering in different ways around the world to talk about death together, and this is one of them. Find out more about these unique creative gatherings here.)
• Saturday November 18th, 2023: Creative Partnership Circle: End of Year Review!
You’ve been wearing all-the-hats for your creative business this year, trying to get clear on your goals— and somehow ‘23 is almost over?! Join the Creative Partnership Circle — a unique form of mutual aid for creators— for a guided End of Year Review to take stock of where you’ve been, where you are now and where you’re going next. I’ve got worksheets to help you get clear, too!
Who?: Folks in any form of creative business endeavor…Our group has musicians and designers and painters and sculptors and writers and performers and freelancers and biz owners and folks who do all these things and more. What we have in common is a desire to give and receive mutual support & clarity on our creative-business-related endeavors. Many of us meet one-on-one between group sessions to keep one another steady. Creative partnership is a beautiful and life-sustaining practice and without it I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today.
Cost: Free* for Image Word Mystery Members ($6mo or $60yr), for current Creative Partnership Circle folks and my past and present One-On-One clients. Time: 1-3pm US Pacific/ 3-5pm US Central/ 4-6pm US Eastern. Access*: Online, Zoom link will be sent along with supporting worksheets one week prior to the call.
*Pre-registration is required for anyone new to the Circle. Please fill out this form.
Whew! I can’t wait to hang out with all of you!
Paid subscribers, I have a new post coming to you on Monday! Everyone else, I look forward to sharing a very fun interview I did with
next Friday. We talk divination, dreams and unicorn skulls like only Krisztina can…xo (see you soon!),
