Create Together
2026-08-29 16:00 - 17:00, 2026-09-26 16:00 - 17:00
This is a monthly group that is meant to inspire creativity. It isn’t like a class where you turn in assignments. Participants get out of it what they are able to put in. The class will meet, we will say “Hello”, depending on the size we might mention what we are going to create or work on, then we will spend 40 minutes or so working. Participants can have their cameras on or off. In the last 15-20 minutes we can share what we’ve done or not. There’s no right or wrong. This is all very person-centered and focused on respecting the individual needs of all participants. Participants just need a connection to the internet and a way to log into Zoom. Also, have available whatever tools (pens, pencils, markers, video camera, tablet, etc) you use to be creative. For example, I am a writer and filmmaker. I will most likely be typing the whole time, but will obviously answer questions, as much as I am able, during our CREATE TOGETHER meeting.
