About our Membership Community

The Profoundly Creative membership community is designed to help you develop your creative muscles through regular practice, in conversation and collaboration with others. Each month we explore a new theme.

We meet on-line four Sundays per month at either 10 AM and 2 PM Pacific time (you choose which session fits your schedule each week).

During our creativity sessions, we spend an hour exploring the monthly theme through guided hands-on exercises, reflection and sharing. The sessions are recorded and available for replay for members.

In addition to our weekly zoom calls, we have our own private on-line community where members access session recordings, a resource library, discussion areas and a gallery for sharing in-progress and completed work.

Weekly themes for December—Rituals:

Dec 7: Setting the table
Dec 14: Gifts
Dec 21: Solstice lanterns
Dec 28: Reflections and intentions

Membership is open to anyone curious to explore their creativity in a supportive and low stress environment. No prior art experience is required. There’s no homework and no expectation that you’ll be able to attend every session. If you miss a session, you can always go back and watch the recording but there’s no expectation that you will do so. The focus is on supporting your own creative journey, however that looks to you.

The fee to join is $28/month (Canadian dollars). Click here to join.

NOTE: It’s important to me that this community be accessible financially to artists and anyone who would like to participate. If $28/month is a barrier to your participation, a limited number of scholarships are available. Send me a note to learn more.

Testimonials

The Sunday creativity session is a highlight of my week. Robi works through fun and inspiring exercises with us in a very encouraging way. I learn something every week, and I’m often pleased with the result even though I’m a beginner. I’m sure I’ll use many of the tools for creativity that Robi has provided in lots of ways over years to come. – Julie Gardner, Profoundly Creative member

Robi’s weekly sessions have been an open-ended invitation for me to explore the art part of my imagination. She offers smart and thoughtful ideas for participants to consider and render in our medium of choice.

I play with analogue collage. Robi’s theme-oriented approach has given me starting points for exploration I’d never thought of. And it’s been interesting to work within defined parameters. As a result I’ve been led to designs and techniques I hadn’t tried before. What fun! – Kris Klassen, Profoundly Creative member

I have to say that I joined the group without knowing what to expect…just took the opportunity life presented to me to do something creative, completely different to my work or any other activity I was pursuing at the time.

The meetings, the classes, totally opened up my mind to new ideas and ways of thinking and doing things. It totally blew my mind and exceeded any expectation I may have had (unconsciously, I suspect). I enjoy each and every time I am there, and learn a lot.

The fact that we can get the recording after, follow what was done at our own time, is very convenient. And you creating a platform where we can interact, post, get ideas and expand our knowledge is truly remarkable, a big plus.

It is obvious to me the care, thought and time it takes to prepare for each Sunday, and your joy of doing it is contagious. I am forever grateful for your dedication, your candor, your willingness to share with and guide us in such an inspiring, educational and fun journey. – Maria Cervino, Profoundly Creative member
