Creative Bond presents “I Just Love Falafel” Thursday July 10 at 7 pm. A part of the “I Just Love” series, created by @deendeen87 a social impact creative, facilitator, and experience designer who believes in play, food, and storytelling as powerful tools for healing and belonging. “I Just Love Falafel” will transform 304 Bond St. into a Palestinian kitchen, inviting participants to remember, reclaim, and reconnect, transforming cooking into a sacred communal ritual that centers joy, flavor, and the sacredness of gathering. With one shared frying station, we’ll take turns making falafel together while opening conversations about family, tradition, and the small things that bring us back to ourselves. It’s messy, heartwarming, fragrant, and full of soul. Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to share a story or two!

On Wednesday, July 9 at 7:30 PM, Creative Bond invites you to Charcuterie Party with @laurencohenstudio! Lauren began sculpting anthropomorphized food as a way to cope with the loneliness of the pandemic. Real and ceramic cheese provided🧀 Bring a beverage to share, and join us for an evening of charcuterie and community!

Don't miss this very special offering from the Creative Bond on June 8 at 1:30 PM for an afternoon of expression including yoga, meditation, and painting. Aptly, this session is timed to coincide with the holy day of Pentecost, a festival honoring the movement of the holy spirit in the early church.
First, Gabrielle Casper will guide participants through an hour of gentle yoga asanas and deep meditation. Then, Paget Walker will lead a painting session to help tap into the deep springs of creative intuition. Prepare to be surprised by the creative force that may emerge!
RSVPs are encouraged via DM or email creativebond@stlydias.org.

Sticky faith for friends and families! In June, we celebrate PRIDE and the beginning of the Pentecost season!

Creative Bond presents a zine workshop on Sunday, May 18th 2:30 to 4:30 pm led by @neighhhomi. We’ll explore the fundamentals of design, and use guided prompts on love (for both self and for the other) as inspiration for collages. Bring old greeting cards, poems, receipts, catalogs or screenshots, and turn your scraps into zines!

Epiphanies of hope is an immersive workshop designed to discover clarity, grounding, and liberation through soul-led meditation. This workshop transcends traditional boundaries — engaging in personal, interpersonal, and communal meditative exercises — to foster trust and connection beyond words. Through creative expression and intentional practices, participants explore new pathways for growth, healing, and transformation for the collective and individual alike. Calling to the ancestors that are to be - we will ask for the wisdom that is needed and helpful for the now. Together, we cultivate a toolbox for navigating life’s challenges while embracing the mystery of hope and the becoming that is communal creation.
Come as you are, bring art materials that call to you, and let’s walk the path together.

“My Father’s Play” is many things: A play within a play, a father and daughter, the passion of Christ, the passion of memory, and more.
