Sarah, I love this!! I could not agree more. And I love the idea for your workshop!

In today’s post, I wrote about cultivating joy as a way to see ourselves through this mess—how it provides fuel for action and a sense of agency. And, creating is a big part of what gives me joy. ✨

Thank you Wendy--and I so agree that joy and creativity and deeply intertwined. It's the way I'm hoping to create more joy in any political activity I might do going forward in these crazy times--by approaching my actions creatively--so that it's not just a civic duty, but a civic joy. I hope the workshop sparks a lot of ways for the participants to do that as well!

Keeping the arts alive in schools is SO important.

The arts are not a luxury... they're a necessity!

"I’m saying it gives you actual personal agency." Love that! What a way to take control in an uncertain world. Create. Community. Connection.

I'm excited about your gathering and am going to try and come! Thank you!
