Somatic Daydreaming: Sowing the Seeds January TBD, at Little Green Art Studio in Frogtown

A Guided Soundbath and Creative Ritual for the Winter

In the stillness of winter, we dream the first seeds of what will one day bloom. This evening invites you to rest, listen, and let your imagination move through the body, following sensation and image into the subtle places where inspiration begins.

Through guided somatic daydreaming and sound, we soften the edges of thought and open space for new life to take root. The gathering closes with a creative ritual: collaging onto pocket triptychs, small altar-like pieces to keep near your bedside or workspace. These altars a reminder of what’s quietly forming beneath the surface as we move toward spring.
