Reminder ✨ Join me tomorrow for The Art of Beginnings

See you on Saturday for a pop-up retreat about playing with thresholds

Hello,

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow (Saturday, January 27) for The Art of Beginnings, an online pop-up retreat about playing with thresholds. It is being offered to subscribers of this newsletter as a thank you for supporting my work.

I am excited to explore threshold experiences with those of you who have signed up. It feels like I am getting ready to host a party tomorrow!

As a reminder for those coming:

• Have some paper and writing instruments handy

• Make sure your Zoom is updated before logging in

If you want to get started reflecting on beginnings in your own life, I’ve set up the chat feature in Substack. This is a conversation space exclusively for subscribers. I posted a prompt about beginnings and there have been some beautiful responses.

I hope you’ll join the conversation:

How does it feel to begin something new? How do you hold both where you've been and where you want to go? What is your relationship with thresholds?

The Art of Beginnings is an informal online workshop—a pop-up retreat—for readers of The Museum Gaze to come together and reflect on the sensations of beginning something new. Through a series of creative exercises inspired by museum visits, we'll play with new ways of paying attention to the moment of crossing a threshold.

Beginnings are liminal spaces, where the past meets the present to weave the future. This can be disorienting. The gift of this disorientation is the invitation to reorient, to figure out where we are and choose the way we want to go.

Let's welcome in the new year by befriending beginnings, in community.

I hope to see you tomorrow!
