When We Find Ourselves By Finding Each Other

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we all need each other — especially now, when the world feels so heavy, and so much of our attention gets pulled into screens, headlines, and worry.

This weekend’s Halloween gathering at the studio brought that truth right back to the surface.

Nothing dramatic happened. No grand experience. Just familiar faces returning, a few wonderful new ones joining in, kids instantly connecting the way kids always do, and adults slowly letting their shoulders drop as they eased into the afternoon.

It reminded me how deeply we crave spaces where we can simply be — without pressure, without performance — and remember ourselves in the presence of others.

Quiet support is powerful like that.

Sometimes the brightest moments are soft. Sometimes light arrives in laughter over paint smudges, in silly costumes, in a child proudly showing you their artwork, in parents chatting like they finally have a minute to breathe.

And in those small, human moments, you feel it: the world softens, just a little.

We need that. More than ever.

We need places where the noise falls away and we feel safe enough to create, connect, and exhale. Where we can return to our own inner voice while feeling held by a community that understands the value of slowing down and making something with our hands.

That's the heart of this space. It has always been.

And whether it’s through our weekly adult sessions, family gatherings, or our quiet, soulful painting classes here in Brookline — it’s the same purpose: to create a gentle landing place in a busy world.

A space to find each other. And in doing so… find ourselves again.

More of this. Always.Little lights, in ordinary moments, reminding us of who we are.
