Are you looking to expand your relationship with creativity? Have you found yourself drawn to increasingly mysterious sources of inspiration? Do you have a sneaking suspicion that community is missing in your art practice?
If so, you are not alone.
In this ongoing art circle, join Morbid Anatomy Medium in Residence Tiffany Hopkins as we gather in community, connect to something beyond our regular ego mind, and create work! Each session will open 15 minutes before our scheduled time for a bit of socializing before beginning our formal session, which will begin with a short reading to focus the mind, followed by a gentle guided meditation to open ourselves to inspiration. We’ll then have about 45 minutes of quiet time to make art in our own space—drawing, writing, cooking, dancing, or whatever practice best brings out what’s inside you. You are welcome to gather locally with others if that feels right. We’ll close each session as a group, with optional extra time for sharing what you’ve made and reflecting on the process.
Participants are encouraged to work in whatever medium feels most natural and to keep things simple for the sake of flow—no need to overthink. These sessions are drop-in, so you can come anytime, or sign up for the full series to add commitment and regularity to your creative life. We use a circle format, meaning everyone’s presence matters and participation is mutual; each week is an opportunity to show up for your own expression and for others. Our approach draws from the theory and practices of Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead, making it a great companion to the book.
In our practice, we will be tapping into a long lineage of individuals and communities who made work in similar ways. From our ancient ancestors painting cave walls, to priests and priestesses shaping ensouled objects and singing sacred songs, to artists like Hilma af Klint and her séance circle The Five, making art in community has perpetually sparked inspiration, passed down knowledge, and fueled new work.
And the sense of connection in these gatherings isn’t limited to just the living—art-making has always involved reaching beyond: to plants and animals, outer space and the subconscious, the divine and the dead. As the year unfolds, join us to connect and create together, drawing from the deep, shared wells of community and inspiration. Our instructor has found that these sessions foster creative flow, bring in new ideas, and help release “stuck” energy. Sometimes, a finished work might emerge; often, it’s about showing up, staying open, and keeping the creative channel alive.
