SCHEDULE: 1:00 to 1:15 PM: Arrive and get settled in. 1:15 to 2:15 PM: Write in silence for an hour. \*\*If you arrive after 1:15, please silently find your own place to sit. We'll welcome you to join the group at 2:15.\*\* 2:15 PM: Introduce yourself. We'll go in a circle; just say your name and 1–2 sentences about what you're writing.

Toronto Nomads

I'd like to get a group going for content creators who enjoy the nomadic lifestyle. We will be based in Toronto, but share travel aspirations and stories, as well as what we post on our channels. I have over 100K fans on mine, do some very, (very) simple editing, and am always looking to improve what I post. I'm sure others are into this also, as social media is pretty hip these days, lmao. Let's meet on Sunday and see how it goes! RSVP me so I know how many would like to attend. Cheers\~

The Toronto Artist's Way Meetup Monthly Meetup

The purpose of the group, based on the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, is for people to meet and talk about their artistic challenges in any field (painting, writing, music etc.) and encourage each other to break their creative blocks and fulfill themselves in their art. If you find people who are sympathetic, you may want to form your own group, meeting regularly to explore the book and supporting each other in their artistic journeys. I have gone through 2 such clusters and can say that it is a very powerful experience. Why not come to a meeting and see for yourself?
