Welcome to our very second dream-board, a weekly column that was born from an IG story and this little thread in our community chat!
Straight to your inbox every week: I’ll be rounding up creative opportunities, fellowships, workshops, brick and mortar offerings, and other creative voices and resources to help you pursue a life of creative abundance!
Initially, all subscribers will get access to this weekly board. Eventually, we’ll be limiting this column to paid subscribers only. So, dig in now (and tell us what you want to hear more of)!

You don’t need to be an artist to be a volunteer.

Esalen is a holistic and educational retreat space in Big Sur, California dedicated to providing workshops and experiences in the healing and somatic arts. Volunteer opportunities to help support the community and its grounds (cabins, kitchen, farm & garden) are available daily.
With zeal and gratitude for this creative life,
