PASSAGES

Mapping life’s movement through art and writing

Passages is a virtual three-week course for exploring creativity and self reflection through the framework of our past, present, and future. Each session will include space for writing, art making, and communal sharing. Just the right balance of freedom and guidance, Passages is meant to support your unique practice through the ritual of showing up. 

Passages will take place on Zoom in alignment with the changing seasons. Cameras may be on or off and sharing is always optional. Come as you are and engage as much or as little as you are comfortable. Recordings are sent to participants via email and a communal Discord page.

This season, we will meet from 7-9pm EST on the following dates:

MONDAY APRIL 13
MONDAY APRIL 20
MONDAY APRIL 27

Passages may be a good fit for anyone who:

• Wants to connect to themself and others through creativity

• Loves to make things but struggles to prioritize the time and space for their art

• Needs room for exploration and play

• Feels stuck and wants to work their way forward

• Delights in noticing the rhythms and patterns of their life

• Works well with a little structure and a little looseness

• Values softness, expression, and community

Testimonies:

Passages felt like a cozy, creative retreat each week. Julia led each class with the perfect mix of structure, play, and an openness to explore. I felt very supported and inspired.

I absolutely loved Passages! Julia is an incredible facilitator in helping to bring your most creative self to the forefront. It was the perfect start to the new year reconnecting with tactile art making, self reflection through writing and creating, and restarting a personal art practice. It's a warm, encouraging environment to connect with people of all different creative backgrounds and skillsets. I left inspired and full of gratitude and joy.

Passages was the perfect antidote to my dreary January! While I enjoy making art and writing by myself, this class reminded me how much joy and inspiration I derive from sharing in those processes with others. I found myself looking forward to each Monday and checking the Discord to see what new masterpieces were there. Would absolutely take this again!

Passages is a new offering and should be considered an ever evolving experiment. Thank you for your grace and trust as I try new things to support myself and others though my creative practice!
