Whilst being pleasantly self-centered and with one another, we will sink into a sphere of lyrical softness as we pal up and talk about dreams, draw process-ey maps, come up with creative self care practices for each other, maybe write some poems, do some eyes-closed dancing, and other un-ironic-pseudo-self-help management tools that may come up.

*Bring pens / pencils / paper... but we’ll provide these things too.
