SUMMER IS IN BLOOM: Let's Celebrate! Dear Reader, Four years ago, the loose idea for Creating Space Healing Arts Community began taking tangible roots.

FEBRUARY INSPIRATION: NEW BLOG POST! Hello Reader, I hope this message finds you well and inspired! There’s so much unfolding at Creating Space — but first, I want to share something personal. For a long time, I lived more in my mind than in my heart. I could analyze what I felt.I could explain it.I could intellectualize it. But truly feel it?That took years.
