About us
WE'RE BACK Y'ALL! Due to some recent donations by incredible supporters, VGVS is back on Meetup in 2026! We're so excited to share all our new free workshops, paid courses, events, challenges, and other programming, and we look forward to meeting and collaborating with many new creators in the months to come!
THIS IS THE NORTH AMERICA MEETUP GROUP! It's open to anyone anywhere but will include our online workshops and other events with times that work best in western hemisphere time zones such as US/Canada Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, and Newfoundland. If you're on the other side of the Atlantic, it's best to join the Europe group for time zones closer to GMT. If you are in or near Indianapolis, Indiana, you may want to join the Indy Chapter group instead so you will also see local events in that area!

The Venturous Guild of Visionary Storysmiths (VGVS) is an international creative collective committed to growing a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community of empowered artists. We are a nonprofit organization that provides free resources, workshops, mentorship, and safe spaces for creators to hone their skills, build their confidence, and share their stories. The Guild is open to teen and adult creators of any kind who work in any medium. Your passions may include writing & poetry, print & digital art, photography, film, music, fashion design, dance, theater & performing arts, graphic & game design, and more!
Our Discord server is our main communications hub where we come together from all over the world to hang out, inspire and motivate each other, and collaborate on projects! It's a super chill space where we can chat between workshops, share resources, get writing and art prompts, complete challenges, ask for help, share current work-in-progress for feedback, and more. Note that the majority of our free workshops and events such as weekly Creative Writing Discussions, bi-monthly Creativity Jam Sesh, and Moon Meditations on new and full moons happen IN the Discord server in The Tavern voice channel!

Lucid Dream Training for Creators 8-week Course
·OnlineOnline***THREE SPOTS LEFT***
RSVPing TO THIS EVENT ON MEETUP IS NO COMMITMENT! You are only expressing your interest in the course! Visit angietonucci.com/group-courses for more info.
Angie Tonucci's next Dream Training course is scheduled to start Monday 25 May and continue on Mondays at 2pm Eastern Time until the last session on 13 July. Registration for these course dates is open! If Monday afternoons work for you, you can submit the interest form below, and Angie will send you the registration form to complete and pay the course fee. If you are NOT available for these specific course dates but are interested in a future course, submit the interest form to share your availability, and Angie will let you know when the next course is scheduled.
Note that those currently registered for this session starting May 25th are in the UK and Norway. So while the middle of the day on a Monday probably isn't feasible for most in the US, if you can spare that time, this will be a super cool opportunity for intimate connection with others on the other side of the world!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR THE COURSE HERE ON MEETUP!!! The fee is listed so those interested know the cost up front, but you will not be charged until you sign up for your specific course dates at registration.
This is a comprehensive 8-week course for artists and writers that teaches tips and tricks for increasing dream recall, becoming and staying lucid while dreaming, gaining control of the dreamscape, and utilizing this incredible magical experience to inspire creation! The course includes 12 hours of training (virtual via Zoom) over the course of eight 90-minute sessions, homework assignments between sessions to increase recall, record dreams, and practice reality checks, and permanent access to a Discord server for resources, writing & art prompts, sharing & processing dreams, and open discussion.
