This group will gather once a month to share and learn more about the value of creativity in our daily lives. Over a warm mug of brewed tea/coffee (or ice tea/lemonade in the summer!), come connect with others, share ideas, find inspiration, and practical tips to lead a more creative and whole-hearted approach to life. Each month, in addition to checking in with one another, we will explore different practices (journaling, stitching, collaging, photography) that may pique your creative curiosity.
Each week the group will meet at the front desk of the Glen Arbor Art Center and will move to locations such as Pine Street Studio, the GAAC Classroom, the GAAC grove or Thoreson Farm.
At Norte Youth Cycling, we believe that riding bikes is for everyone, regardless of gender. However, we also know that many girls prefer to ride with other girls, so we launched our More Girls on Bikes initiative. This opportunity is designed to empower girls (4th grade and up), young women, and women of all ages.
