This is a creativity-promoting Meetup centered around a book called "The Artist's Way". The book outlines a 12-week series of exercises to promote your creativity, of whatever flavor it might be, and to help you over whatever bumps you might be having with it. We add to the book by meeting in small groups to go through the sequence together, to congratulate each other on work accomplished, to commiserate on work not accomplished, to nudge each other a little from day to day, and to generally giv …

We are citizens of the world living in the Bay Area. We are creative. Writers, poets, painters, readers, researchers. We love to create with our minds and hands. We meet once a month in my home and eat, drink , talk, bring our art to share and create a loving supportive community.

We (Mireya and Rosy) are artists and creative arts therapists living in the Bay Area. What began as a longing to create a freeing arts practice for ourselves became a deep desire to provide an authentically enlivening experience for others. For over a year, we explored the questions, "What kind of conditions would just naturally, organically nurture the creative process in people? And, what kind of structure and container could safely hold and guide a diversity of experiences?" Once we found ans …

I like unique events that aren't stuffy and a little off the beaten path. I am interested in poetry readings, lectures, book signings, theater, art openings, experimental music, and other related events. I'm hoping to find a few like minded folks in the Bay Area who would like to attend these events on occasion with me! I am looking for cheap stuff to do so you won't find any opera or symphony events here (unless they're free!) So many artists out there, it's great to support your local art scen …

… It is truly an *amazing* privilege to be alive at this time, so long as we can gracefully embrace change and enliven our capacity for creativity, connection, and imagination! "In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men [and women] are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I …

If you are ENTHUSIASTIC about all things improv you are in the RIGHT place.  The rules of improv are good for everyday living.  In this group you will find opportunities to try out improv informally with other members, learn about improv classes offered in the area, and attend improv local shows.   Improv happens in the "here and now." If you're thinking about the past, or planning for the future, you're missing the present -- and that's where spontaneity, creativity and connection occur. Improv …

Rock balancing Is a performance art in which rocks are balanced on top of one another in various positions. If you enjoy hiking that has a meaningful experience in the middle of it, please consider joining the San Rafael Rock Balancing Hiking Group. No experience at all is necessary to build the Rock Balanced Sculptures so this is a great activity and experience for those people who do not feel that they are artistic. We will hike to different beach locations in Marin County where we will create …

Intuitive Painting classes/workshops utilize painting as a tool for self discovery and spiritual exploration. This is a revolutionary way of unblocking creative potential and facilitating personal transformation. Through the use of spontaneous intuition and the Point Zero method of self questioning, participants find their authentic painting expression. Fears and judgments that have blocked creative energy can be used as the key to unlock the source of your passion and creative potential. Usi …
