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.
Humans are deeply, inherently social channels of creativity. Art-making requires us to reach deep within ourselves—but it also invites us to reach outward to others not just as performance but as practice. For our ancient ancestors who painted on cave walls, there were few things done alone, so perhaps painting together was just the way things were. For priests and priestesses from across the planet, making ensouled objects and singing sacred songs together passed down techniques and topics to new generations. For artists like Hilma af Klint and her seance circle The Five, connecting was a source of not just inspiration, but instruction for future work.
For Morbid Anatomy Medium in Residence Tiffany Hopkins, the group format brings new ideas, accountability and regularity to her art-making. And of course, in all of these cases, she is not just talking about connecting with other living humans. Throughout the ages, people have connected beyond the living world into vast reaches of our experience when making art: to plants and animals, to aliens and outer space, to our own cells and unconscious, to the divine and to the dead.
Join us as the year unfolds in this place and time for us to connect and make art. This is a drop-in class you can come to any time—or sign up for the whole series as a commitment to your practice. It draws from the theory and techniques of Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide To The Dead and is a great companion to it.
We will use a circle format, which means we’re all participants and each meeting is a commitment to showing up for our expression and each other. Our meetings will be on Zoom, which tends to create more of a web-like interaction.
Each week, Tiffany will guide us through a light meditational practice, which encourages a shift from the typical day-to-day mind into a state of receptivity. The time will be broken into sections: we’ll open up the Zoom room 15 minutes before our scheduled time for a bit of socializing. We’ll begin the formal session with a short reading to focus the mind, followed by a guided meditation to energize the connection. We’ll have about 45 minutes of quiet time to make art individually in our own spaces (you’re encouraged to gather with those in your local area, if you feel so inclined). Then, we’ll close down the circle and those who wish can stay on for another 15 minutes or so to chat about the experience and share what we’ve made.
You are encouraged to work with whatever art form is most natural to you and stick to what can be done simply. You are not limited to drawing—writing, music, dance, cooking, whatever form is best for you to bring out what you have inside. In order to connect and stay connected you don’t want to be thinking too much about what you’re doing .Tiffany has found that these types of sessions help to create flow, bring in new ideas and get lost stuff out. She has also found less often that a magnum opus comes out when connected - the real work still awaits you.
Tiffany Hopkins is an author, medium, educator, and researcher based in Lily Dale, NY. She runs Nobox Inc., a research and design firm. She also works to share the unique experience of living surrounded by people who talk to the dead through Normalize Talking To The Dead, a website, podcast, and residency. Her book Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide To The Dead was published in 2025.
