Workshops

More creativity is available to everyone. Most of the time, we use only a fraction of our mind's potential. Have you ever woken up with the solution to a problem? Do you suddenly remember the lyrics to a song you haven't thought of in years? Do you have dreams while you are asleep? Your subconscious is collecting, processing, and sending up information all the time. Learning to tap the subconscious provides access to the limitless font of creativity that lies within each of us.

Dahven leads small groups in creative exploration, both virtually and in-person.

The Hundred Day Project

Based on a class that was originally offered at Yale University, the idea behind the Hundred Day Project is simple: choose a creative project, work on it every day for 100 days, and share your process daily with a small community of creators. Creators may be working towards completion of a larger project, like sewing a quilt or building a collection of songs, or they may be repeating the same activity every day, like taking a photograph or cooking with eggplant. 

 

When creativity flows most freely, it can be like channeling ideas from beyond. But most of the time, creativity is about showing up and doing the work to coax an idea into existence. The Hundred Day Project provides a community and a structure for the creative process. Keeping at an idea for a hundred days helps artists and makers to develop a creative discipline and push through obstacles to creativity.

 

The  Hundred Day Project begins every year around February 1.

Spiritual Services

Weddings and Pre-marital Counseling

A wedding is a declaration of interdependence, between two people... and the community that supports them.

 

As an ordained officiant, Dahven performs non-denominational spiritual services for weddings, as well as pre-marital counseling, based on The Marriage Project: Five Minutes to Intimacy.
