Alchemy for Creativity: A One Day Workshop to Empower, Renew, and Inspire
May 23, 2026
3:00 PM (EST)
4 hours
Intended as both empowering and self-forgiving, this course will offer deep metaphors to inspire and hold space for big artistic ideas.
What can be more creative and inspiring than the process of conjuring the alchemical magnum opus (Great work)? While we won’t be creating the Philosopher’s Stone, or turning lead into gold, we will be using the metaphor of alchemy to help nurture, inspire, and guide our creative projects.
In the five-hour workshop, attendees will be guided through their own alchemical process of Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinas, and Albedo. To usher us through each alchemical stage ekphrastic exercises and prompts will be included, because art inspires art.

Age-old Storytelling Tools You Can Use In Every Art Form
June 15, 2026
7:30 PM (EST)
6 weeks
Eager to play with storytelling tools in your niche art form, but not sure how to apply them? Perhaps you want to engage in storytelling through curation, or interior design. Maybe you wish to manifest a story via a garden, or the way you bake bread. Perhaps the story wishes to express itself in a different form of art altogether, such as song, poetry, or sculpture.
We are all familiar with the idea of using storytelling tactics when it comes to the spoken or written word. From marketing spiels to TED talks, the tools of the trade of the storyteller are common forms of entertainment and persuasion. How can we expand these techniques to other art forms?

Celebrate the Summer Solstice: Ritual Design Workshop
June 20, 2026
3:00 PM (EST)
2 hours
Summer solstice is a time of bonfires, wildflowers, and time spent outside—not one spent online on Zoom. This online workshop will lead attendees to design their own personal solstice ritual that they can manifest on Midsummer night or the following day.
Building on rituals created for the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, this session will help you use myth and metaphor to mark the turning of the year. Throughout, we will take inspiration from stories such as Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the tale of the Holly King and the Oak King, The Green Knight, and several Trickster stories about stealing the Sun.
