When we spill and expand our interests and occupations into less tidier areas we can create exciting new connections. The alchemy of this more diversified networking can create new meaning, understanding, and enjoyment. Hopefully, some of these overlaps will illuminate undiscovered and unrecognized ways for us to encourage each other to live more creatively and with greater awareness of our fellow travelers. There are many different ways to hold and touch what we value and present to the world so, let's get experimenting!Classes Available
