MAP Fund spa coach

Launched in 2012, co-designed by MAP staff and consultant David Sheingold - Scaffolding for Practicing Artists (SPA) - takes an artist-centered approach that honors the sacredness of process in the often product-driven creative sectors — nonprofit and for-profit alike. Practicing artists encounter few professional spaces that are free of judgment and competition, and to which they can bring their full selves. I am proud to have received support from MAP Fund and David Sheingold, and I am honored to serve as a coach for the current cohort of artists. More HERE.

WALK TOWARDS IT

It is a Joy and a privilege to say that I am a contributor to Walk Towards It.  Designed for parents, Walk Towards It is part creative workshop, part arts offering, part self-care experience. This self-paced online class produced by Spark & Stitch Institute will help you pause, reflect, and make meaning of the transformative nature of parenting during this time.  Ellen Hinchcliffe and Ed Bok Lee also give Offerings.
