Creative Bond, in partnership with Victoria J. Fry (founder and director of Visionary Art Collective and Warnes Contemporary) warmly invites you to The Curated Table, a special gathering for artists and leading art world professionals, hosted at St. Lydia’s storefront on Monday June 9.

The Curated Table is an intimate evening designed to foster connection, creativity, and conversation among artists, curators, writers, and art world leaders. This will be a meaningful evening of thoughtful exchange and shared nourishment. Dinner will be served both indoors and outside on the patio. In keeping with St. Lydia’s ethos of shared responsibility and communal care, guests are kindly invited to participate in light cleanup following the meal.

Please RSVP (to creativebond@stlydias.org) as soon as possible, and let us know of any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate everyone comfortably. You are very welcome here!

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. Playwright Samantha White invites you to help her decide what’s worth reviving in her father’s never-produced script, a special performance-and-workshop perfectly suited to kick off the Eastertide season at St. Lydia’s, presented by the Creative Bond and moderated by Billy McEntee. Admission is free!

After a busy Holy Week and a joyful Easter Vigil on Saturday night, St. Lydia’s rests on Sunday. See you next week on April 27th!
