Thu 12/5 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm EST
Find the clarity and support to step into the next chapter of your creative expression and meaningful work.
Join this one-day gathering at Green Acre to discover how the warmth of community can rekindle your creative fire!
This one-day workshop continues the spirit of the SeaCHANGE Conference—a space where creators and changemakers of diverse backgrounds gather and discover how a supportive community can strengthen us. Some benefits:
- Get clarity and navigate challenges or blocks holding you back.
- Learn practices of how to listen so people feel understood, so we can accompany each other through challenges and breakthroughs.
- Connect and deepen relationships with other creators and change makers, exchanging ideas, wisdom, and resources.
- Experience a range of methods to grow a vibrant healthy community in your work and life.
This gathering is for those interested in arts, healing, and social change, which is not limited to those who define themselves as artists in their work.
The Format
This workshop will focus on multiple ways to offer and receive peer support. Beth Tener of Kinship will facilitate, bringing her gifts of weaving community and creating a welcoming environment for learning and connection.
Here are some highlights:
- We’ll hold each other’s stories: the aspirations, challenges, and uncertainties.
- We’ll work with several processes, including systemic constellations, where the group supports a person to work with a challenge and/or aspiration currently on their plate. When we help one person navigate a challenge, it is helpful for every one of us in some way.
- Time to walk the beautiful grounds of Green Acre, along the Piscataqua River and conversations over lunch.
- We’ll find ways to connect needs and offers to enhance our community’s connections and mutual support.
You’ll leave with more clarity, recharged, and more connected.

“I loved that we were all from various places, and talents. Different views could come together and talk about the same things that we all feel. It feels like we are all one, interconnected and intertwined.”
“Beth’s workshop was the highlight of the amazing SeaChange Conference for me. It provided an embodied experience of the landscape of what I was facing in relationship to my creative work. What had been an internal struggle I hadn’t spoken aloud, was seen and heard with compassion by the group. We explored resources that were available to me to assist the work, in ways I hadn’t thought of before.”
Fees/Scholarships
Lunch is included, plus coffee and snacks upon arrival.
We don’t want cost to be a barrier for attendance so please reach out to Beth Tener at beth @ kinshiphub.net to learn about scholarships.
“Being in a room full of people who are all working towards the same future is so powerful, and it’s very moving.”

“There’s a lot of generosity – not just giving but there’s generosity and receiving. It was just a constant flow of open generosity.”

“To experience this oneness, and the attitudes, in spite of our tremendous diversity is extremely confirming.”

“I am extremely excited for my own artistic journey and I’m excited to continue the conversations and collaborate in ways that I hadn’t thought of before. We created a community here—we have that empathetic energy between each other so we give and gain that creative energy.”


“I look at each person and it feels like my heart is smiling. It’s been smiling all weekend. It’s also been breathing so deeply; I breathe so deeply here.”

“I look around the circle and know I have all these pillars of hope. Anybody in the circle I can call to be reminded who I am and who I am meant to be. We can all be those pillars of hope for each other, to remind each other who we are not who the world tells us to be.”

“Artists are the servants of humanity. Humanity is desperate for what the artists have to offer because the artists actually awaken the spirit in other people. And spirit is what is needed.”

“It felt really nice to feel supported; that’s something I don’t feel I have enough of because I’m so used to doing things on my own.”
This gathering particularly welcomes Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) creators, as well as community members of all cultural backgrounds who are actively engaged in the arts, community building, social justice, inclusion, spirituality, and/or leadership work with children, youth, or adults. If you are committed to transformational conversations and change-making work, this space is for you!
