Do you enjoy the arts, crafts or gardening? The experience of making - or simply appreciating art can be healing. In times of stress, I've found that the act of creating (whether a drawing, painting, collage or a garden) is calming and restorative. We'll plan a variety of activities. Your ideas are welcome. This may be an opportunity to share your skill or learn a new one. The group is open to everyone - no previous experience necessary.

are you a young professional who spends her lunch break on pinterest, and wants to start putting some of these ideas into action? let's bake that brownie stuffed cookie and make those mason jar candles -- over snacks and wine, perhaps? happy to organize and host in uptown :)

Have you always wanted to learn?  We don't actively teach but will help if we can. Are you proficient in one but wanted to know more about the other?

Zentangle® is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images, one stroke at a time. Even if you are new to drawing or think you are not artistic, you will enjoy creating Zentangles.  Also, great for the experienced artist to warm up and get creative juices flowing.  The process of creating a Zentangle is a form of "artistic meditation". You can become completely engrossed in making each pattern, deliberately focusing on "one stroke at a time".  The tangles (patterns) can be a …

Running a business may leave you making decisions alone at the top.  If you are like most business owners, your family and friends cannot fully appreciate what it takes to run and grow a business. As a business owner, you face challenges that are common to business owners. We recognize the value of learning from each other (which is cheaper than hiring consultants). That's why we formed these "executive peer groups." Come discuss challenges and issues with your business peers who have built comp …

This group is for parents who want to get together along with their children for play groups and fun activities, while at the same time discussing parenting issues.  I envision some meetings being straightforward play sessions, some being book discussions (maybe without children present sometimes?), some being discussions about specific issues (sleep issues, older sibling adjusting to new baby, how to create routines/rhythm in your day, positive discipline, etc.), and others being crafty gatheri …
