NADJA'S
Each room will open 15 minutes before the start of the session for anyone who’d like to chat before we begin—I’ll be there. I’ll also keep the room open for 10 minutes after the session for those who want to share, reflect etc.
Members are welcome to drop in for focused 20‑minute sessions—with or without the chitchat—and leave at any time, with no expectations. These sessions are here for you.
NADJA'S
Provides private 1:1 online sessions with Jessie Holmes for art-related development. Such as—but not limited to—review/feedback sessions, personalized workshops, submission or exhibition support, materials and technique, art history review/reflection, experimentation sessions, or to be a sounding board for you and your current projects. Small groups are possible if all members are enrolled in Nadja's.
New members begin with a 30 minute complimentary co-design session, with Jessie Holmes, to customize monthly one-hour sessions and to set their intentions, methods, and process in a private space.
MICRO-EPICS
Micro-epics are short prose narratives coined by playwright Peter Handke, focusing on detailed observations of the natural world, everyday objects, and fleeting moments of daily life. How it works: guided sessions are 20 minutes online with minimal exchange: two short writing bursts, and silent integration—no sharing required. Members are welcome to work on an independent writing project or utilize one of the provided prompts.
Group accountability supports regular practice, sustaining creative flow, emotional release, and clarity, while building a regular, low-pressure writing practice.
QUICK DRAW
Quick Draw: is a quick 20‑minute facilitated drawing session.
How it works: each facilitated session includes 2 x 5 minute sketches followed by one 10‑minute drawing. Working from your immediate surroundings—indoors or outdoors—scenery or objects- you’ll explore light, composition, and mark‑making using any materials that fit your practice. The emphasis is on process over finished results.
OPEN READ
The open reading session lasts one hour; however, members are welcome to drop in at any point and briefly check in—even if it’s just to read a single line or share a piece of artwork or to say hello. You’re free to arrive, contribute, and leave whenever you like. You are also welcome to simply be present and listen if that feels more comfortable.
This is currently an English-speaking platform for group events, but feel free to read in your preferred language—every language is appreciated.
MEDITATION
Concurrent meditation, rest, or prayer. Participants practice their individual methods—breathwork, mantra, prayer, or stillness—without guidance or exchange. How it works: sessions run 30 minutes via video platform (cameras optional, all muted). 23 minutes are devoted to silent practice, with brief openings and closings from the facilitator to mark time. Participants may exit quietly anytime, gradually extending their practice.
LIBRARY AND RESOURCES
A living, member-curated archive supporting personal research and studio practice. Drawing from member recommendations, it brings together references and tools spanning contemporary art, care, theory, fiction, poetry and philosophy. As a work in progress, the library evolves through collective contribution and reference subjects that evolve alongside the community’s shared interests.
