The Ripple Effect
The Ripple Effect is a co-created, collaborative, community based generative workshop for creatives of all kinds. No experience necessary.
Duration: 90-120 minutes. Online via Zoom.
There is an active effort to remove hierarchy from this space, so The Ripple Effect might look and feel a bit different from other workshops you’ve been to.
Each participant is invited to bring something to share with the group. This could be a piece of art or writing created by themself, or by someone else. It could also be an image, a word, an object, a concept, a thought.
We begin by going around the room, with each person introducing themself and sharing what they've brought. These shares are to be considered as prompts, to begin your own creations.
Once we have each made our offerings, we take time to quietly co-create. All mediums are welcome. We will then take time to create for 15-30 minutes depending on the number of participants. A visual timer will be available.
Each participant will have a chance to share- a reflection, a creation, a closing thought.
We repeat this process again, if we have time!
The Ripple Effect is a sliding scale event, $10/$15/$20. If using a sliding scale is new to you, you can learn more about that here. Please note: If you want to join us, I want you there. Please email Meg to request the code to register without fee, no questions asked.

You do not have to bring anything to share.
Cameras can be on or off- if your camera is off, you will not be called on to speak out loud.
Sharing is always optional
No feedback or critique is given on newly created work.
You are welcome to use the chat throughout the session, but you aren't obligated to keep your eyes on it. I do that for you! If you prefer to share your writing or art in the chat, please do! If you want someone to read a comment or work aloud, please let us know.
Once you've attended at least one session of The Ripple Effect, you can opt to take an active role in the space.

Community Guidelines
Your creativity deserves company on easy days and hard ones. Show up however you can, and do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
All ways of creating- making art, writing, dancing, singing, imagining. are welcome, and equal.
All ways of showing up and sharing - chat, talking aloud, camera on, camera off, are welcome and equal.
You are invited to skip any portion of The Ripple Effect - bringing inspiration, creating, sharing what you make, making anything at all - that don't fit you today.
Silence is ok. We don't give feedback on newly created work. If you share something and the group is quiet afterwards, that doesn't mean you did anything wrong.
Questions are always welcome.
