I am a painter, writer and dancer in the process of forming a co-operative house in which we can all share our skills with the group in order to create a nurturing and healthy home. I'm interested in hearing from other young (or young at heart) artists, musicians, chefs, yogis, massage therapists, spiritual healers, reiki practitioners, acupuncturists, etc who are willing to equally share and receive their gifts with the group. I am actively searching for the right home for this group and am p …

Artists and artisans speak monthly on some aspect of their professional success both on aesthetics and how they have created successful creative business. Drawn from the community of artisans in the Best of the Northwest art shows and their colleagues as well as others, individuals will share what they do and how they do it. Diverse fields from photography to fine craft, glass to fiber artists, artists associated with nwartalliance.com and beyond share their stories.

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

This is a musicians collective with the intent to hold approachable social events so that musicians may find others of a similar sound, ethos, and ambition with which to connect.

This is an excellent resource for musicians new to the city (or long- …

Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …

If you are reading this page, you probably already know what a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is, and you probably are one. But just in case, "HSP" is a concept explained by Dr. Elaine Aron in her 1996 book "The Highly Sensitive Person." If you identify as a Myers-Briggs INFJ or INFP, an empath, an Indigo or an "intuitive" there's a very good chance you're also an HSP. If you'd like to learn more, we highly recommend that you visit her web site and take her sensitivity self-test. This extensive o …

We've even been known to combine readings with live music, drinks, and good f …
