Dearest DIY Hivers!
I'm excited to share with you all, that my very good friend @theastone and I are inviting new participants to our magical Co-Creation Sessions - which happen online every Thursday afternoon Central European Time.
If you are a maker of things - be it art, sewing, music, cooking, singing, dancing - and want to connect weekly with a group of power-full creative souls who are dedicating their lives to co-creation, healing, expansion.... do join us!
These sessions have been an anchor and a profoundly nourishing vitality in my previously-solo practise as an art-ist!
Particularly following extreme censorship and blocking on mainstream 'social' 'media', and the lack of folks travelling to visit me here in my Italian medieval quarter (which was already pretty darn tranquillo!)... I was surprised how grounding and intimate virtual meetings could be.
It has been an essential stabilising element in these challenging recent years, to have these deep and rambling discourses - to witness other creatives delve into their process and success!
Thea also does a weekly Monday check-in to see where we all are in our work-life-well-being: again, it is very valuable as a creator to have regular accountability and care from fellow artists.
Above is a short video with Thea and myself, introducing the sessions.
We welcome all levels of experience in whichever crafts we choose to play with: many of us have multiple passions and move from one to the other in one meeting.
Often, we will take a quiet period in the middle of the session, to just immerse ourselves in what we're doing... Sometimes we are writing or editing videos, using a noisy sewing machine off-microphone, or making sure our cats are not standing on the painting palette!
The co-creation sessions run every Thursday at 2 pm UK/3 pm CET/ 9 am EST for 3 hours via Zoom.

Much love in all that you are creating!
