chickadee road :: studio sessions
This fall over at Chickadee Road, Kelly and I want to explore a new kind of online gathering: The Chickadee Road :: Studio Sessions. For now, Chickadee Road is a virtual space, but we dream of a magical place tucked into the woods right by the sea where we could gather with you.
The Studio Sessions are four-week online gatherings inspired by the idea that we would love to open our studios up to other creative souls who want to spend four weeks cultivating their creative practice.
What does cultivating a creative practice mean?
Many of us dream of having a week or two or even a whole month where we could travel to a beautiful corner of the world and spend that time creating a new body of work or writing a memoir or actually using the mixed media techniques we’ve learned in the workshops we’ve taken. And then, we’d love to circle in community with other creatives who would say, “How are you doing over there? How did it go?”
This is what the Chickadee Road :: Studio Sessions are about: Creating a virtual space where we can support one another as we take a few minutes or even an hour or two a day to practice and make small moves and big leaps toward the creative dreams that wait within us.
During our fall gathering, you will choose a creative practice to work with. Each day, we will be here to guide you, celebrate you, and inspire you, and your circle of kindreds will be here to catch you as you play and work and find your way.

Dates: September 17-October 13
Where: We will gather in community at a private blog and in a private Flickr group. The posts will also be emailed to you so you can keep them.
Four weeks of daily posts include:
- Videos that take you into our own creative spaces and invite you to be present to self-care and fun
- Lessons about ways to invite in ritual and sacredness to your daily creative practice
- Creativity exercises to support your practice and keep your creative juices flowing
- Writing and photography prompts to keep you grounded
- Stories of our own journeys to reconnect with our creative joy
- Opportunities to share your stories through photos, daily check-ins, and other surprises along the way

We can't wait to gather with you, share our stories, and dive into our own creative practices!

Oh! This is just perfection ... Ever since I had the honor of journeying with you during Inner Excavate-along, I've wished I could afford one of your retreats. This session won't be a "retreat" of course but will be away to experience a bit of what that might be like. So I am going to have a think about what creative practice I want to focus on, and then sign on up! Thank you :)
What a wonderful way to share in a retreat when distance is a barrier.
This is a wonderful idea. I hope it attracts a lot of artists.
