SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Freedom\n\n\n\nJune’s Creativity Matters theme is “Freedom.” Together\, we’ll discover how freedom fuels creativity by opening the door to endless possibilities and true self-expression. Freedom encourages us to break boundaries\, trust our unique voices\, and create boldly\, without fear or limits. \n\n\n\nPlease note: starting in June\, Creativity Matters will be meeting on the first Tuesday of the month. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Options\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options C\, D\, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*: \n\n\n\n\nInner Critic: Get freedom from inner critic. It can be harsh and loud\, but giving it a name and a face can help loosen its grip. Draw\, paint\, or collage your inner critic as a person. Give it a face\, a name\, imagine its size\, clothes\, and expression\, and add word bubbles.\n\n\n\nFour Values: Freedom isn’t just about fewer limits\, it’s about staying true to what matters most. Choose your top four core values\, find an object or person that represents each one\, create or find an image of them\, and hang them on a wall in your home.\n\n\n\nEscape Decision Fatigue: From illustrator Wendy MacNaughton\, this exercise uses simple rules to ease decision fatigue and invite creative flow. By giving up control\, we shift from directing the process to collaborating with it. Sprinkle red chili flakes (or similar small items) onto a blank page. Let them fall naturally. Outline each flake where it lands\, then enjoy the meditative practice of filling in the negative space with black ink.\n\n\n\n\n*Don’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nOur Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.  \n\n\n\nIt’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us\, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain. \n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.

SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Imagination\n\n\n\nMay’s Creativity Matters theme is “Imagination.” Together\, we’ll explore how imagination fuels our creativity by helping us dream up new ideas\, experiment with artistic expression\, and see the world through fresh eyes. Whether through painting\, writing\, movement\, or making something entirely unexpected\, we’ll tap into the playful and powerful ways imagination sparks creative expression. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProjects of the Month\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options A and C from the monthly Creativity Matters packet* and for a “What if” collage project: \n\n\n\n\nPut Your Head in the Clouds: Bring your own cloud pictures or pick from our collection. Use your favorite art materials to trace\, add details\, and color in the shapes or characters your imagination uncovers.\n\n\n\nThe Squiggle Game: Created by Donald Winnicott\, this exercise invites you to draw a random squiggle and use your imagination and your favorite art supplies to turn it into something meaningful.\n\n\n\nWhat If Collage: Choose or create a “What if…” prompt to spark your imagination\, such as “What if the sky were made of dreams?” Next\, explore our materials to craft a collage\, adding your own details or drawings to bring your “What if” to life.\n\n\n\n\n*Don’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide?

SUMMARY:Coffee & Collage
DESCRIPTION:Distilling the Essence of Lent\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a slow morning of casual Coffee and Collage on Saturday\, March 1st\, in the sun-filled atrium from 8am-1pm. As always\, join our monthly group theme or work on anything that inspires you! \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme\, inspired by Lent\, invites us to shed what is unnecessary to uncover what is most essential. Through the art of collage\, you’ll start with a busy\, cluttered design representing life’s distractions\, then gradually refine it to reveal a central image\, word\, or symbol that captures what matters most to you this season. \n\n\n\nPerfect for artists\, crafters\, and creative beginners alike\, this gathering is open to adults and high school-aged youth.

SUMMARY:Creativity Matters • Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Inclusion\n\n\n\nFebruary’s Creativity Matters theme is “Inclusion.” Together\, we’ll explore how art and creativity can create spaces where we feel seen\, valued\, and connected. We’ll also reflect on how they can help us heal from experiences of exclusion and inspire us to extend belonging to others. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProjects of the Month\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options A\, B\, and C from the monthly Creativity Matters packet* \n\n\n\n\nCelebrating the Shape\, Size\, and Color of You – Create an abstract shape that symbolically captures something essential about who you are and then fill it with colors and additional abstract shapes that symbolize additional aspects of yourself.\n\n\n\nLabels that Left You Excluded and Included – Print the labels you have and others have applied to you\, stick them into a pattern or onto something that brings the story of your labels to life\n\n\n\nMisfit Collage – Inspired by the work of David Lock\, use his torn collage technique to explore the feeling of inclusion and exclusion by normative and societally-standard images of mainstream magazines.\n\n\n\n\n*Don’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nOur Creativity Matters group invites community members to engage with monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression. \n\n\n\nHere\, intuition and imagination take the lead—not just logic and reflection. Think of it as letting your right brain dance with your left! \n\n\n\nA drop-in group designed for high schoolers and adults\, Creativity Matters is open to everyone—no artistic experience or skill required. Just bring a playful spirit and a sense of adventure!

DESCRIPTION:Our Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.  \n\n\n\nIt’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us\, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain. \n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.

SUMMARY:Youth Religious Education
DESCRIPTION:C2: Coming of Age Cafe\n\n\n\nC2 is a unique coming-of-age space designed to honor youth choice and support them in taking ownership of their spiritual paths\, C2 is a space where youth can connect\, collaborate\, create\, and rest while exploring the deep questions of identity\, belonging\, and purpose. Each week\, the group will be invited to explore questions such as: \n\n\n\n\nHow do I honor the child I once was…and will carry with me?\n\n\n\nWhat are the labels and expectations our families put on us?\n\n\n\nWhere is the line between belonging and fitting in?\n\n\n\nWhat privileges belong to me\, and how do I use them to support the belonging of others?\n\n\n\nHow do I honor where I come from?\n\n\n\nHow do I celebrate the unique me?\n\n\n\nHow do I prevent labels from hemming me in?\n\n\n\nWhat are my core values?\n\n\n\nWhat are my passions and joys?\n\n\n\nWho do I hope to become?\n\n\n\nHow do we disagree without destroying relationships?\n\n\n\nHow do I resist “me-ism” and honor our intertwined fates?\n\n\n\n\nThen youth can choose how they’d like to go deeper with that week’s theme. Whether they choose to play a game\, make art\, enjoy a snack\, quietly reflect\, or simply relax\, C2 is an intentional time for youth to nurture their well-being\, explore those big coming-of-age questions as they move from childhood to adolescence\, and discover the answers together.

SUMMARY:Coffee & Reassembled Collage
DESCRIPTION:Take a breather before the holiday rush and join us for our final Coffee & Collage meetup of 2024! Reassembled Collage—the art of disassembling and reassembling an image in a new way—is more than just a creative exercise. It’s a meditative practice that mirrors the cycles of order\, disorder\, and reorder in our own lives\, inviting us to find beauty and meaning in transformation. \n\n\n\nCome and experience the peace that comes with slowing down and creating something new from what once was on Saturday\, November 23\, in the sun-filled atrium from 8 am – 1 pm. As always\, join our monthly group theme or work on anything that inspires you! \n\n\n\nThis peaceful gathering is for artists\, crafters\, and creative beginners alike\, and is open to adults and high school-aged youth. \n\n\n\nWe’ll provide examples\, gentle guidance\, and supplies to get you started. Participants may bring materials and tools from home too.  \n\n\n\nSuggested items: \n\n\n\n\nOld magazines and books\n\n\n\nPhotographs\n\n\n\nDaily calendar quotes\n\n\n\nGreeting cards\n\n\n\nArtistic postcards\n\n\n\nCircle and square punches\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect during this casual community art hangout: \n\n\n\n\n8 am-9 am: Early Bird Community Set-up! Feel free to arrive at your convenience. We’ll be brewing coffee\, putting out supplies\, setting up tables\, and art’ing together as people show up.\n\n\n\n9 am-12 pm: Casual Coffee & Collage Let the creativity begin! We’ll officially start the art hangout at 9am. Connect with others (or enjoy creative solitude) as you work on your collage piece.\n\n\n\n12 pm-1 pm: Community Clean-up!Return supplies and pick up your personal space. If your schedule and physical ability permit\, volunteer to help put away tables\, chairs\, and community supplies!\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for this relaxing morning of community art is preferred (so we can prepare supplies & snacks)\, but drop-ins are welcome.
