The Free Quarterly

Each quarter we gather for four weeks of embodied creative inquiry.

What creative dreams and visions do you carry? What image is hidden within you, awaiting your presence to bloom?

The cohort is a place where artists and non-artists alike gather to engage our creativity, transforming our visions into living inquiries to guide and inform our way forward as conduits for creation.

What is it

A simple, playful discipline to awaken & re-awaken creative life force each day, nurturing your creative inquiry & intention

Prompts as portals beyond the known, working to rearrange your current ways of seeing & being to access authentic image & idea

A method for meeting the self and its depth of creative potential

A place to tend and engage your ideas & insights among community

The practice dials us into a potent collective field that contains our individual inquiries and visions. Each time you practice, you tap into the field, drawing from and offering to it like a wellspring.

Over a 4-week cycle, we plant the seeds of our creative visions, transforming them into generative inquiries that take root within us as living forms. Throughout, we nurture and tend to our intentions, helping to reveal more of our authenticity so we can be effective vessels in service of our creative life.

The Discipline

  • 3 minutes of meditation. We use a specific meditation from the tantric lineage that combines mantra (sound current), mudra (a gesture & energetic lock), gaze and breath to awaken latent creative potential.

  • A practice of "morning pages," where we empty out our minds onto the page for three pages. Clears the mental channel making space for creative clarity.

  • This looks different for every one and may shift from day to day. Your inquiry will provide the insights for your specific practice. Your job is to tune in and respond to the clarity & direction you receive—to continue showing up.


Practice is self-guided. The invitation is to return to the discipline daily to serve your creative unfolding.
