You belong here
Being creative is a part of our nature and deserves a safe, playful, communal space to be witnessed and celebrated. Here we grow.
Fun fact, a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope.
“From my perspective, healing is essentially a creative process, we create a new state of health. ”
Why Creativity & Monarchs Need a Safe Space to Grow
Monarchs are an endangered species and in a sense, so was my own creative spirit, until I began my quest towards healing, cycle breaking, self awareness and creative play.
When I share my creativity and release the butterflies after raising them, I feel connected to something larger.
Where do I get the Monarchs? I grow organic milkweed in my home garden and have a daily summer practice of looking for eggs under the leaves and feeding the caterpillars that I bring into my home to raise. I follow best practices that I was taught through a course with Schlitz Audubon Nature Center.
How We Grow Week to Week with Monarchs
Weeks 1 - 4 are virtual & Week 5 is the in person micro Retreat
Our experiences follow actual Monarchs that I raise for you or you raise for yourself. We all start with an egg at the same time.
