 Why Good Grief?

In our pursuit of creativity, we recognize the importance of self-care and the evolution of our craft. We grant ourselves the freedom to take breaks, allowing space for growth and transformation. Consistent creativity, we understand, is a personal journey, not tethered to constant visibility but rooted in the dedication to honoring our talents in our own time and manner.

 Art, Dance, and Release:

Because we acknowledge that grief is held not just in our minds but also in our bodies, around 9PM, we transition into a feel-good dance party led by our resident DJs! Shake out and release the grief from your body and spirit, making space for new and good energy to flourish within.
