We believe that in order to claw our way out of our collective overwhelm and overconsumption, we have to rediscover who we are beyond metrics and validation: our originality. This live salon-style series will examine the practices, relationships, and rhythms that allow us to feel, connect, and become—without losing ourselves to the noise.

Format

Why This Program?

Led by Jennifer Pauline and Miriam Tinberg, this cohort is shaped by years of experience in community-centered programming, media, and creative facilitation. We don’t just host discussions, we design intentional spaces that spark meaningful connection, deep reflection, and creative breakthroughs.

Through live conversations, curated media, journaling, and reflection exercises, this salon series explores how we live, feel, and create in an era of speed, scarcity, and technological overwhelm. Each session builds on the last, so they can be experienced in concert with one another but also stand alone as their own containers.
