I'm hosting a small and intimate gathering for women in my living room on Monday, May 27th. We'll be discussing the DANGERS OF LIVING AN UNCREATIVE LIFE and how we can avoid the societal traps that try to convince us that a "comfortable" life is better. I believe this is a dangerous lie that we've all been told.

During the gathering, I'll be serving spiced cacao (yum!) and we'll read an old folk tale called "The Red Shoes" together that talks about these exact traps. We'll also have a discussion on how we can reconnect with our wild, creative feminine nature.
