8 speakers on the Intentional Journey

Hello!

In 2020 and also in 2022, I offered a creative gathering called Taproot. 36 artistic and thoughtful people shared their art and stories, providing a deep well of nourishment for a larger creative community.

I am happy to announce that Taproot is back. Stream it later or be there live on June 14, as eight speakers are tasked to talk about the intentional journey, where ideas come from, the ups and downs, and how to find your way.

The presentations will be hosted as a Zoom webinar from 9:00am - 6:00pm Mountain Time. Each presentation will be about 45-50 minutes with time for questions.

The cost is $129.00. The live session will be recorded and made available for streaming on Vimeo, starting June 17, with access for three months. Zoom links will be emailed to all registrants on June 12.
