Practices of Orientation:

Communal art practices for uncertain times

Orientation isn’t about direction or answers—it’s about presence.

Practices of Orientation is an ongoing series of community art workshops exploring how we find our way through periods of change, uncertainty, and transition. Using simple creative practices, participants gather to reflect, make, and reconnect — both with themselves and in community. Keeping the work human, not abstract; each workshop seeks to answer a different question:

  • Where am I?

  • What grounds me?

  • What moves me?

  • What do I return to?

These in-person workshops offer a calm, welcoming space for creative reflection, conversation, and community connection in uncertain times. No artistic experience is required; the emphasis is on process, curiosity, and shared exploration rather than finished artwork. All materials are provided.

    Come as you are. Imagine what lies beyond the known.

    What if the horizon is not a boundary, but an invitation?

    In Beyond the Horizon, we'll create layered maps of possibility, curiosity, and imagined futures. Through collage, drawing, paint, and guided reflection, participants are invited to explore distant lands, emerging directions, and the terrain that lies just beyond the edge of the known map. No artistic experience required—only a willingness to look up and wonder what might be waiting beyond the horizon.

    Come as you are. Notice what moves you.

    Some seasons ask us to steer. Others ask us to drift. How do we move when certainty disappears? What happens when we stop trying to control direction and learn to move with what’s already in motion?

    In Drift & Currents, we explore the paths we choose as well as the unseen forces acting on us: exploring obligations, tides, seasons, external pressures.

    Through guided mapping, mark-making, and shared reflection participants create visual maps that trace movement, resistance, and flow.
