Hands-on activities, rites of passage, and games are led by experienced educators. Circus Curious workshops aim to inspire creativity, build confidence, and encourage collaboration, leaving participants with new skills and lasting memories.
Creativity in Motherhood
Second Sunday of every month, 5–8pm
Motherhood expands us in miraculous ways. It reshapes our priorities, shows us the best and worst of ourselves, and grows our hearts beyond measure. It can also quietly bury our own creative impulses beneath layers of care, logistics, and self-sacrifice.
Creativity in Motherhood is a monthly gathering of mothers who are curious about how our creativity blossoms, dies, and reinvents itself through our expanding identities. How can we express through art the new ways we understand the world when, as Jenny Offill puts it, “The love you feel for your child has a way of obliterating whatever you used to think you loved”?
Each gathering weaves together movement, a reading and writing prompt with time to talk, and a hands-on creative project. It’s also a place to check in on the bigger creative work in our lives: the book you’re writing, the studio you’re dreaming up, the project that keeps getting pushed to “someday.”
November’s theme: Space
“A lock on the door means the power to think for oneself.” -Virginia Woolf.
But what happens when we become mothers and the locks come off? For now, perhaps that space has to exist in our imaginations first.
This month we’ll make rooms of our own: fairy houses imagined as tiny retreats for mothers, miniature spas, sanctuaries, and hideaways designed around what we actually need. More rest? More quiet? More connection? What kind of space (physical, emotional, or creative) would help us feel more like ourselves? And what is the self now that we are mothers?
This is process-oriented art. No experience necessary, no pressure to make something “good.” Come as you are, and come back as often as you can.

Grief, Art and Connection
Story, Movement, and Making Through Loss
Grief lives in the body, the voice, the silence, and the stories we carry. In this workshop, we gather to explore grief—not only as sorrow, but as transformation, reverence, and connection.
Drawing from storytelling and folklore across cultures, physical play, and creative expression, we’ll approach grief as something to be felt, witnessed, and shared. Through movement, writing, and collaborative art-making, participants will be invited to meet their own experiences of grief - whether rooted in the death of a loved one (human or animal), life transitions, relationships that have ended, or evolving identities.
We will look to those who’ve come before us, to traditions that make space for mourning and celebration, and to the possibility that art, movement, and gathering can help us metabolize what words sometimes cannot.
No performance, no prerequisites. Just the willingness to show up—tender, brave, quiet, messy, or joyful. All of you is welcome.
