A COURSE ON THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL WITHIN EVERYDAY

THE SHORT OF IT

Six weeks of intentional time and community where you can practice attuning to a felt-sense of wholeness creatively and consistently for pivotal shifts. This is about unshaming practiced patterns that aren't working for you while actively practicing ways of being that honor your exquisite YOU-ness. Here, we practice attuning to wholeness with an emphasis on our innate creativity.

January 4th through February 8th, 2025

 

Together, we'll start the year not from grand resolutions, but from meeting yourself exactly as you are—and your life exactly as it is—to craft a life of beauty and meaning from that place.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Live class on Saturdays at 11am-1pm EST for six weeks

  • Wednesday office hours for Q+A, sharing challenges and changes, and receiving tailored support

  • The Harvesting Guide. Harvesting is a practice of gathering insights and wisdom from your personal archives (think journals, documents, and notes). It's an intentional process to revisit and cultivate meaning from your experiences and recorded reflections

  • Add-on: Two private sessions to be used at any time before, during, or after the course (up to one year of the course start date)

REGISTRATION CLOSED

Welcome, I’m Maggy.

 

I am a writer and artist passionate about helping people connect with their creativity and live more fully as themselves.

I run a creative research studio called Regarding Dew, a community-responsive ecosystem centered around the idea that wholeness is experienced through our creativity. Through Regarding Dew, I provide creative mentorship, semi-annual courses, and public offerings all in service of supporting you to live a life that feels true in all of the ways that you can.

While my formal education in fine arts and American studies informs my work, most of my expertise comes from a love of research, working as an artist, relationships that span cultures and generations, the privilege of learning from teachers who embody mastery in their fields, and an unwavering devotion to living my truest life. I draw on this depth of knowledge and care in supporting people to create powerful transformation in their lives.

If you are a sensitive, creative thinker with a vibrant spirit and a curious heart, you’re in the right place.

What people are saying about their experience within Regarding Dew…

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If you're like, ‘I really want to join and I'm kinda freaked out to actually do it’...
Here's what I would want to know:

  • If you show up fully to this course, you can expect to experience shifts in perspective and practice that will change your life. I don’t say this lightly. This sureness comes from the results I’ve seen with this work.

  • There will be an enormous amount of support, not just from me but from learning together in community. On Wednesdays, we’ll meet for optional office hours for you to ask questions, share challenges, changes, and celebrations, and to receive tailored support.

  • Regarding Dew workshops/course spaces are introvert friendly and highly interactive.

  • Every corner of the experience is infused with creativity. There will be curated poems and playlists aplenty. We'll have fun looking at creative living from many angles and mediums.

  • On purpose, we're meeting in what is the rainiest, coldest, greyest months of the year (for many of us, that is). It'll be a time to go inward and plant the seeds for what you're here to create in your life.

  • We show up as we are. That looks like spontaneous and caring ways of relating. Private clients regularly share that the creative and reflective experiences I offer feel safe for expressing your creative, wondering self. And to feel the comfort in that—to feel the comfort in stepping outside of your comfort zone, and to be met fully in that experience.

 

You will love Pivoting Toward Wholeness if...

  • You’re a friend to the big questions. You care about beauty, wonder, and showing up fully—for yourself, your loved ones, and your unique contribution to the collective.

  • Creativity is central to who you are. Your most authentic self is your creative self. Creativity, for you, isn’t just about “doing creative things”—it’s about how you move through life. This truth sometimes makes you feel like an outsider with friends or family or with the greater paradigms we find ourselves in (paradigms that laud quantifying, optimizing, and constant 'upward' growth).

  • You’re not necessarily a professional artist or writer, but you feel deeply connected to creating meaning in your life through creative expression. You want to nurture that connection in a way that also honors the circumstances of your life in this season.

  • You're a deep-feeler—you care. Your heart is tender, maybe even weary. You’re ready to feel resourced in your heart-centered principles, living life from inner to outer, instead of the other way around.

  • You’re drawn to a life of practice. As uncomfortable as it can be, embracing practice feels meaningful and familiar to you.

 

Pivoting Toward Wholeness might not be for you if...

  • You’re looking for a magic solution. Instead of a formula or quick fixes, Pivoting is about deep transformation for the long run. This community of practice is here for exploring curiosity, unshaming patterns that keep us feeling disconnected, and nurturing your relationship with wholeness as an unfolding and embodied practice.

  • You prefer certainty over exploration. While this course includes plenty of practical tools, if living into questions, cozying up with the unknown, and leaning into vulnerability feel uncomfortable, this might not be the right space for you at this time.

  • You feel disconnected from your body or emotions and aren’t ready to engage with them. This work honors the fullness of who you are, which includes connecting with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom with curiosity. In every session, I will offer light ways to bring presence to your body.

  • You’re committed to conventional ideas of discipline and consistency. If creating a highly structured approach to day-to-day living feels essential, you might struggle with the ways PTW reimagines discipline as something softer and more intuitive—one that flows with your humanity and creativity.

 

CLASS DETAILS

  • We meet Saturdays at 11am-1pm EST from January 4th - February 8th on Zoom

  • Optional Wednesday office hours to ask questions, check in, and go deeper

  • Everyone receives The Harvesting Guide: Harvesting is a practice of gathering insights and wisdom from your personal archives (think journals, documents, and notes). It's an intentional process to revisit and cultivate meaning from your experiences and recorded reflections

  • Optional add-on: Two private sessions to be used at any time before, during, or after the course (up to one year of the course start date)

 

  • In addition to our calls, the time that you choose to dedicate to this course is up to you. Pivoting toward wholeness as a practice happens in the midst of how we are already moving through the day. You bring your attention to the dish that you’re washing in this moment, the person in front of you in this moment, the tightening of your chest in this moment.

    Taking time for reflection and contemplation is also pivotal. Between Wednesday office hours and the practices that we’ll build within the sessions, you decide how much and in what ways you'll set aside time. That said, pivoting toward wholeness is a practice in being fluid: you might reflect during a walk one day, spend ten minutes journaling another, and have a rich conversation about your processes with a loved one over dinner another day.

  • Attending live: At this time, we're only having the calls live. This might change in future iterations, but for now, it will not be recorded beyond our collective sharing of the present moment (and whatever notes you want to take) just like life offline. There are a few reasons behind this, but one is that this space is meant to feel safe to be vulnerable and sincere.

    Missing a session: I recommend signing up for this course only if you can reliably attend all six sessions. Also, life happens and sometimes that’s not possible. Our optional meeting time on Wednesday is a time for you to get up to speed on any material you may have missed. I am also very available via email and make great effort to make sure that each participant feels supported.

  • Regarding Dew courses are intentionally kept small, generally between 8-30 participants

  • There is a very high chance that this is beyond each person’s comfort zone, or that the material will push up against those edges, and that’s the point. Personally, this is beyond my comfort zone, too, so you’re in good company! I do everything that I can to create a space that is gentle, warm, and lush—an environment, as Parker Palmer says, “where the insights of the soul can come to the table.” If you have any questions, please send me a note at maggy@regardingdew.com.

  • There is the option of adding on private support—more details coming soon. If you would like to explore what private sessions within Regarding Dew are like, click here.

  • Yes! At checkout, you'll see options for spacious payment plans offered through Klarna and Afterpay.

  • There are no refunds at this time. Please consider this before making a purchase.

Enrolling in this course comes with the understanding that each person is responsible for ensuring wellness in their individual experiences: this includes what may arise, get activated, released, composted, integrated, and the transformation that can blossom from this course. We will speak on intimate experiences and share insights and challenges in how we each move through every day life. This calls for generosity of spirit—co-creating a space of equal sharing and deep listening. That said, the spaces offered through Regarding Dew are not therapy and I am not a therapist. In entering Regarding Dew spaces, you agree to the Conditions of Gathering.
