ART MEET-UP
I crave an art day in the park, especially with the creative energy of others around me. Are you feeling the same way? Good! I’ll supply iced tea, snacks, and some botanical still lifes for the picnic table. You bring paper, canvas, paint, markers, charcoal, clay, etc. (I’ll also bring some extra supplies).

UM, OK, I GUESS
In this 2022 world, it can seem easiest to press that communication autopilot button: to use what’s worked in the past as an employee, friend, and person on the other line with Verizon. We act sweet, we say thank you, sorry, and please. We let things go - it’s better not to stress.
Sometimes, we ignore that bubbling cauldron of anger in our bellies until we let out the inevitable passive aggressive belch. When our bosses text us about working late, we purposely wait 5 minutes, then respond, “Sure” with no exclamation point!!! When a friend texts if they can crash on our couch for a few nights, we respond with a searing “Um, OK, I guess.”
Um, OK, I Guess is a space to collectively wonder at and pinpoint the moments when we decided it is better to act more like little mice than towering elephants. Thought-inducing questions, breakout conversations with fellow mice, and a culminating collage action will leave you with group-inspired, think-outside-the-box ideas for assertive and confident communication.
