CREATIVE EXPRESSION INITIATIVE
HOW DO YOU CREATE ?
In 2013, we started a creative expression workshop series to help people tap back into their creative juices and explore the power of their voices through poetry, music, art, performance, and collaboration. The workshop series evolved into a flexible collection of spaces and tools that we call the
Creative Expression Initiative
Some of the CEI Spaces we host include writing sessions, open mics, concentrated workshops, creative expressions labs, outdoor creative adventures, and retreat experiences for artists and creatives. We also offer spaces for freestyling, jamming, visioning, and just being. Many of our offerings are co-created or in collaboration with other brilliant artists, creatives, groups, and community pillars. They vary by season and take on different forms depending on our current collaborations.
Our intention is to provide different types of environments and ways of being that invite people to tap fully into their personal voice and be in deeper relationship to their creative juices and the wells of inspiration they are sourced from. The work we do as Signature Soul and beyond is centered in the belief that creative energy is sacred and deserves nourishment, resources, and respect.

CLOSE CAPTIONS
What if we expressed our thoughts paper to paper instead of face to face? What would we share? How would we relate? How honest would we be? Would we listen differently?
