If this resonates, this cohort is for you.
Join a community from around the world for this 21 day virtual cohort
to generate & sustain sustain a daily creative practice.
There is artistry within you, waiting to be unleashed.
How many creative ideas are on your back burner - and feel stuck or stagnant? Whether it be singing, painting, or crafting something with your hands, developing a consistent practice may be the missing link to unlocking your creative gifts.
When we take a little time each day to access our creativity and refine a craft, many of the seeds we’ve planted begin to sprout in ways we had never before imagined.
Over time, as we continue to practice, our newfound access to our unique creative signature will impact our relationship to self, work, and the world at large.
Building habits and creative confidence is hard, but it’s easier to do with friends.
This experience is open to anyone ready to engage their creative spark. Artists, teachers, entrepreneurs, parents, CEOs, students — you are all welcome here.

Rhiannon Griego is a textile artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has found harmonic resonance in the philosophies of Saori Zen Weaving, a tradition she studied and has practiced the last 10 years. It’s free form, wabi sabi nature has moved her to create dimensional landscapes and embrace the beauty of imperfection within her textiles.
Her work is moved by the spirit of the land and the deserts of the American Southwest, which her lineage hails from. Her Mexican, Tohono O’odham & Spanish heritage provide artistic portals through which she communes with her ancestors to bring forth the legacy of textiles as timeless objects of art.
From the language of plants as medicine to dyeing material, Rhiannon’s reverence for relationship between human & land, soil & sky births the foundation to bring more beauty into the world through her art.

Floating gracefully between R&B, hip-hop, soul, world, and electronic, Jesse Boykins III thrives outside of any and all boundaries. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated Jamaican-American vocal powerhouse, guitarist, songwriter, and producer continues to blur the lines between genres, only to unite them.
He has respectfully made his presence known throughout the culture with acclaimed projects such as The Beauty Created [2008], Zulu Guru [2012], Love Apparatus [2014], and Bartholomew [2017]. The latter even featured the likes of Syd, Dej Loaf, and Willow. Beyond praise from The FADER, Billboard, Complex, and more, Pitchfork proclaimed, “Boykins emphasizes his willingness to further break down whatever barriers may still exist between R&B and the rest of music.”
Along the way, he has collaborated on tracks with Rejjie Snow, Joey Bada$$, Vic Mensa, The Internet, Charlie Puth, Calvin Harris, Theophilus London, and Logic, to name a few. Meanwhile, he notably co-wrote “Playground” from Steve Lacy’s ApolloXXI, which received a GRAMMY® nod.
Recently Jesse has Executive Produced as well as Creative Direct Masego’s self titled album. With more surprises on the horizon, he remains one of music’s most daring and dynamic outliers.

Multi-media artist Javiera Estrada’s broad scope of work, which includes photography, mixed media, photograms, film, and textiles, is influenced by her memories of growing up in Acapulco—a tropical paradise of vibrant colors, steeped in spiritual ritual and magical realism.
Javiera examines the theme of interconnected consciousness in a multitude of ways. From incorporating female bodies as sculptural forms in organic communion with nature, to creating galactic primordial environments with inks—fluid and formless, structures representing the “prima materia,” original essence of existence. The juxtaposition of shadow and light play a recurring role in Estrada’s explorations as well, representing the internal struggle between the spiritual and the physical.
Estrada has exhibited in the United States, Europe (London, Paris, Germany, Switzerland) and Singapore. Recently, she was commissioned to create a site-specific piece for the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Estrada currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Dina Nur Satti is a Brooklyn-based ceramic artist and designer originally from Sudan and Somalia. Her pursuit of ceramics was born out of her studies in African art and pre-colonial African societies, and an interest in learning how ritual objects and spatial design elevate experiences. Dina uses creativity as a container through which to explore ideas of personal purpose and growth, as well as our collective transitions, cultural storytelling, and communal rituals.
-
Talia is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the world of imagery through traditional hand poked tattoo, painting, photography and beyond. She travels often, not only to work but to find inspiration both in the new and in the old in the constantly emerging creative process that is her life. Talia explores the connection we share with our ancestors, the often unseen patterns of life and the unfolding mystery which envelops us when we let it.

Here for all of the inquiries…
-
Not at all. Our only requirement to join is a willingness to explore one’s own expression of creativity in the world. Scribbles and coloring books are welcome.
-
While some folks join with intention to move a creative project along, many others join simply to explore creativity in various ways.
Along the journey of creative play and process, it’s not unlikely that ideas for projects emerge. Enjoy the ride :)
-
Absolutely! Play, play, and play some more.

Each cohort features 2-3 artists from varying backgrounds and mediums. They will each guide us in an Open Studio Sunday and take us into the inner workings of their own creative process. They’ll also share some tools and resources that have been instrumental for them in overcoming blocks and building creative confidence.
-
We’re equally wary of all of the threads of digital communication that we’re asked to juggle. That said, we’ve found that it can be hard to remain consistent with your creative practice for 21 days in a row. We use WhatsApp as a very simple mechanism to stay connected to the rest of the participants, and to remain accountable to followthrough. So, needless to say, if you’d rather not be using WhatsApp at all, this may not be the cohort for you.
-
Unless you have a timezone or important schedule conflict, the launch call on May 31 is required to attend. Open Studio Sundays (the calls every Sunday) are optional to attend. All of the calls and interviews with the featured artists will be recorded and sent to the group afterwards.
