Cultivate: Creativity & Connection

Whether you’re an artist, writer, innovator, or simply seeking to fuel your creative spirit, this gathering is designed to ignite your passion, inspire your process, and connect you with a welcoming community.

This experience is rooted in a simple, yet powerful belief: everyone is creative. Yes, some are called to explicitly creative work, but we believe every single person is a creator and beauty-maker in their own one-of-a-kind way. This gathering is about planting seeds—seeds of creativity, courage, and community. It’s about remembering that life itself is beautiful… and that beauty is cultivated through connection, belonging, and being woven together.

Storytelling is one of the vehicles we’ll use to share this message and spark transformation.

Created and hosted by Sarah Davison-Tracy, founder of Seeds of Exchange and champion of storytelling, justice, and belonging.

We’ll begin with an opening PoP (Place of Pause)—a moment to settle in, reflect, and get centered. Then, storytellers from various creative disciplines—currently including writing & book publishing, photography & entrepreneurship, hospitality, and floral design—will share glimpses into how they cultivate lives of creativity and beauty.

Afterward, we’ll circle up in small groups so you can connect more personally with one or two of the storytellers, dive deeper into conversation, and leave with new inspiration, practical insights, and meaningful connection.

Stay tuned - a few more changemakers & storytellers still a-comin'!
