Reconnecting and Reimagining Together
Every journey has moments of pause and then the leap forward.
Our community is at a leap forward moment.
It’s been some months since our last newsletter, but the pause was purposeful.
Along the way, there have been adventures, creative resets, community building, and milestones that reflect the mission of the School of Creativity and Innovation to provide transformative workshops, tools & community to unlock creativity, problem-solving, and growth.
The Journey So Far:
Like any journey, the past few months have been filled with discovery, alignment, and growth.

A 35-day pilgrimage became part creative reset, part alignment, part adventure, and one of the most transformational experiences I’ve had. This talk is about finding clarity one step at a time.
