Taproot Community for Artists and Craftspeople

​Being a solo artist does not have to be lonely! And maintaining motivation and focus does not have to be an uphill battle.

  • What if you could work in your own studio with the energetic support of  a virtual community of artists who are committing this time to their work? This is shockingly helpful in getting you focused in your creative work! 
  • What if once a month you all got together to talk about how it is going and what you are up to- a real community conversation!
  • What if you could have a coaching session once a season to keep you on track and to address any challenges?

​These are the parts of Taproot Community for artists and creatives, and it is a real help!
​
​"This group has such a lovely variety of creators. We are sculptures, writers, children's book writers and illustrators, collage artists, poets, and water color painters. I enjoy the variety of creations and the support for all the nuances in the process of creating. We all have worries, challenges and successes to enjoy.

​It is fun to begin together at the start of the morning and then share however it goes at the end of our time. Val gives us a simple, clear and joyous meditation to begin. She reflects back with helpful ideas on our plans. She is a delight and delights in all of us."

​​
​This is how the Weekly Virtual  Co-working sessions  work:
9:00 am EST----We meet via video conferencing (zoom) , to check in and get grounded and make a commitment to each other and ourselves to stay focused. After the check in, we shut off the distractions of digital communications. We are each in our own spaces and we spend this sacred time working on our creative work.

10:45 am EST--- We come back to the zoom conferencing call for 1/4 hour and check in with a short celebration of what we did. It is rich and supportive, playful and engaged. There will be enough structure to feel safe and enough freedom to feel heard and met.

We have been meeting every week for a few years now and it is shockingly helpful. It helps to keep the distractions and procrastination at bay. And it gives you permission during that time to be fully in your creative work.
​
This is how the monthly community Tea works:
11:00 am EST- First Tuesdays of the month- we come back to zoom  for 30-50 min of connecting. The conversation  is light and lovely and always different. I will use my coaching skills to make sure it feels welcoming and rich for all of us! And your questions and challenges as an artist may be just the topic that we all get inspired by, so bring it on!

This is how the seasonal private coaching sessions work:
The private coaching session you schedule when they work for you- one time a season is included in your fee! There will be a pre-session form that you can fill out to prepare you and me for the meeting so that we can use our time efficiently. These sessions are great for helping you stay focused, clarify your goals, deal with any challenges that are getting in your way, set priorities and keep you motivated and directed. We can look at and talk about the work that you are doing, or not.

How to get involved
Schedule a free introductory session with me and lets chat about what will work best for you.
The standard monthly fee, which includes seasonal individual sessions, is $145
