Create + Integrate
A space to explore your values and inner world through creative expression.
“Art is a lie that makes us realize truth" by Picasso
Create + Integrate is a monthly gathering designed to help you process, reflect, and ground what's alive for you—through art, music, writing, movement, and imagination. Whether you're navigating something heavy, celebrating something new, or simply seeking clarity, this is your space to show up just as you are.
We use creative practices to explore what matters most—our values, our emotions, and the stories we're living. There's no pressure to be “an artist.” This is about expression, not perfection.
What To Expect
Guided creative prompts (no experience necessary)
Space for journaling, sketching, or freeform expression
Group reflection & optional sharing
Grounding practices to integrate what emerges
