Welcome…

To Creative Reclamation. For 4 weeks, we’ll engage in fun and elementary-style art projects to reinvigorate our creative spirit and reclaim the freedom and self-expression of our inner child.

Getting Started

Housekeeping

SCHEDULE: Input 1 consistent day and time (or you can spread this out over multiple days in shorter bursts of time) in your calendar when you will work on your project for the week. Schedule it in for the next 4 weeks o that you keep your commitment to yourself and the process!

EMAILS: Make sure to add the email you received your welcome letter from to your contacts. Since each project will be delievered via email, you will get notified.

SUPPLIES LIST

Download the supplies list below. If you have any trouble accessing supplies, please consider:

  1. Rummaging through old drawers, boxes, under beds, etc.

  2. Asking friends, family, neighbors

  3. Locating your local “Buy Nothing” Facebook page (almost every town of every size has these) and posting that you need these supplies

  4. Browsing Facebook Marketplace and/or Craigslist or local thrift store to see if anyone is giving away supplies (I’ve adopted MANY art supplies for free from this)

  5. Have fun with it and create with anything you have that can be used as a material (this is where creativity starts ;))

TELEGRAM

The Telegram is a private community channel where you’ll have the opportunity to share what you’ve created in a safe and supportive space. It’s important for our inner child to be seen and recognized in order to regain a sense of confidence in our creativity and self-expression. Though the Telegram isn’t mandatory, it’s highly encouraged! It’s also a great way to stay accountable without necessarily having to be a in a “live” setting.

DIGITAL JOURNAL

The digital journal is a space to answer your reflection prompts for the week. You can complete reflection prompts before or after each week’s project. Listen to your intuition :) To access, open the Notion template below. Duplicate this into your own account by hitting the icon at the top right that looks like 2 stacked papers. Feel free to use a real journal if you prefer!

PLAYLIST

While I highly encourage you to make your own playlist, if you’d like a sweet playlist to get you in a fun creative groove, feel free to tune into our Creative Reclamation Radio…
