Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't.

Recently however, after landing a 9-to-5 job, I haven't been as spontaneous as I would like to be, which is why I created this group: I want us …

Do you enjoy the arts, crafts or gardening? The experience of making - or simply appreciating art can be healing. In times of stress, I've found that the act of creating (whether a drawing, painting, collage or a garden) is calming and restorative. We'll plan a variety of activities. Your ideas are welcome. This may be an opportunity to share your skill or learn a new one. The group is open to everyone - no previous experience necessary.
