THE RIVER IS for you:
💦 if you seek a soft and connecting place to be as you explore your creativity
💦 if you desire a community that’s committed to creative and soul work
💦 if you yearn to embody your authentic and inherent creative wisdom
despite disembodying systems of oppression and extraction
💦 if you need permission to honor and celebrate the art that longs to flow out of you
💦 If you’re wanting graceful accountability to commit to your creative pursuits
💦 if you’re curious to see what’s abundantly possible when
you commit to your creativity with communal support
inside the river
CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A quarterly opportunity to be in group learning, strategy and energetics around conscious business creation, operation and expansion
Member Experiences:
“This is such high-value learning and community cultivation. Topics include mission clarification, heart-centered marketing, knowing our audience and who we want to serve, and more.”
“It’s amazing to be with other creatives and purposeful entrepreneurs from around the world who are committing to business practices that are loving and decolonial as best as we can.”
DEEP FLOW SESSIONS and
WRITING LABS
Regular opportunities to get into some focused work, writing and play, and foster accountability with community
Member Experiences:
“Deep Flow sessions are really helpful - I'm relying on The River as a regular community to be in contact with in the absence of a workteam and colleagues.”
”I only joined for a little bit, but it was great to get in to the flow and start up on some work I need to finish. The songs played took my concentration to the next level!”
“It's just so helpful to have the supportive presence of others when completing tasks. When my mind runs away, I can gently coax her back to the shared flow space, much easier with that steady anchor.”
CREATIVE SANGHA
A bi-monthly opportunity to be in group meditation, creation, and inspiration with one another
Member Experiences:
“Gratitude for our time together in this beautiful container. I appreciated the invitation the meditation offered to pause and sit with myself in stillness and how I was then able to use writing as my creative practice to process what came up.”
“I got to slow down and sync with the space around me and the familiar faces online...first through meditation and then by doodling and paying homage to the beauty I had experienced that day.”
YOGA and MOVEMENT
Opportunities to be in group movement and nervous system care to tend to our hearts, bodies and souls
Member Experiences:
“GRATITUDE!!!!! It was so good and I felt so embodied after!!”
“This was my first event in The River in my new home after just moving. A beautiful way to call in good heartfelt energy into the space.”
RIPPLES: OPEN MIC
An open mic for folks to share any form of creativity (music, words, writing, visuals, ideas, movements, etc.) in any part of its process in encouraging and brave space
Member Experiences:
“I received such nourishment from this gathering in the form of awe and the beauty of storytelling. The art that was shared touched my depths and while it really wasn’t my plan, I ended up sharing a scratch of song!”
“It was a really sweet time to share and be heard/seen/felt. I felt the strength of vulnerability.”
A DIP IN THE LAGOON
The Lagoon is our multimedia library with resources and practices on themes like Abundance, Boundaries, Compassion, Conscious Entrepreneurship, Decolonizing Creativity, Inner Critic/Ego and more
The Dip is a live monthly contemplative and practice gathering in accordance with chosen resource(s) from The Lagoon
Member Experiences:
“This is such a special gift and offering, and a tremendous value for the membership. The internet is so fragmented and fleeting, and I can't tell you how grounding, secure, slow-time it is to have such a powerful body of work resting in one archive and place.”
“I love a good resource library and I can tell by how things are laid out it was designed with intention and care.”
