So does healing, connection, and community. Creative Community Activities is an open community group designed to bring people together through creativity, collaboration, conversation, and fun interactive experiences. This is not a workshop. There are no grades. No pressure. No expectations to perform. Just opportunities to connect, create, laugh, express yourself, and build meaningful community with others. Led by Thomas Walk, U.S. Army veteran, Telly Award winner, nine-time national award-winning poet and spoken word artist, Emmy-nominated creative professional, and founder of Mental Health Through Art, LLC, this group encourages positive social interaction and creative exploration through rotating weekly activities designed to help people connect in relaxed and welcoming ways. Weekly activities include: ? Week 1 - Walking Photography A community walk beginning at Karma House where participants take photos, explore creativity through perspective and observation, then return to share and discuss the inspiration behind their images. ✍️? Week 2 - Short Story / Poetry / AI Music Collaboration A collaborative creative session where participants work together to create poetry, stories, lyrics, spoken word pieces, or AI-assisted music projects in a supportive and imaginative environment. ? Week 3 - Board Games / Card Games A relaxed social connection space featuring a variety of games based on group interest, encouraging teamwork, conversation, laughter, and community interaction. ? Week 4 - Open Mic A safe and supportive sharing space for poetry, storytelling, music, thoughts, experiences, comedy, creative expression, or simply listening and supporting others. ? Week 5 - Mini Talent Competition A fun, low-pressure creative showcase where participants can voluntarily share their talents in a positive and encouraging environment. Themes and activities will rotate monthly. Beginning July 2026 Poetry & Spoken Word competition will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place mini trophies. This group is designed to encourage: • Creative expression • Positive social interaction • Collaboration and teamwork • Community networking • Confidence and self-expression • Friendship and belonging • Emotional wellness through creativity and connection No artistic experience is necessary. No commitment required. No pressure to participate beyond your comfort level. Some people come to create. Some come to meet people. Some come to share. Some come because they simply need community. All are welcome. This is not therapy. This is community. This is creativity. This is a place to connect, collaborate, and be yourself.
