Events Calendar
Through guided journaling prompts, small breakout groups, and a closing ritual, you'll have a chance to name what you've been holding and be met by others who are somewhere in their own in-between. When you hear someone else speak honestly from inside their own transition, it reorganizes what feels allowed for you.
Join us for Clean Headspace, a monthly group led by Raena Baldwin of Fresh Start Home Services. This is a supportive, judgment-free space where we come together to tackle the challenges of physical clutter and the mental load that often accompanies it.
Bring any craft that fits in your lap and join Lap Crafts Circle for an evening of creativity and connection at The Spark of Hudson. Whether you knit, crochet, sketch, bead, embroider, or simply enjoy working with your hands, this relaxed gathering is a chance to make progress on your projects and share ideas with others. All ages and experience levels are welcome — come as you are, with whatever you’re working on (or just curiosity).
Bring your materials, pull up a chair, and enjoy conversation, creativity, and a supportive community of fellow makers.
In this twice a month, hour-long session, we’ll gather for casual conversation about writing. What challenges are we experiencing with craft or in our practice? How can we motivate each other (and ourselves) to stay accountable to longer projects? We’ll also write!
We're excited to offer a monthly relationship building meet-up and info/skill-share session for pro filmmakers, directors, producers, casting agents, screenwriters, etc.
