Sunday Merries: See yourself clearly

Sunday, October 4, 2-4 pm @ Highwire Improv Center, Baltimore, MD

Sunday Merries is a monthly drop-in session designed as the antidote to the Sunday Scaries. Instead of dreading the week ahead, we gather to laugh, move, and reset our nervous systems through playful improv and embodied practices. Think of it as a joyful release valve for busy brains. Designed especially for women with ADHD to shake out stress, reconnect with their bodies, and start the week on a lighter note, but open to anyone with a busy brain.

A weekend journey of self-perception, self-expression and self love

October 16-18 * Ruscombe Mansion, Baltimore, MD

This weekend is designed to engage your whole self: mind, body, soul, imagination, and nervous system. Together we'll explore self-perception, self-expression and self-love through improvisation, Sacred Theater, creative art-making (including creating your own masks), gentle movement, meditation, reflection, and meaningful conversation. There will be plenty of time to slow down, integrate what emerges, and connect deeply with yourself and the group. No artistic or performance experience is necessary.

Pivot: Improv for Career Transitions

November 8, 10-12 at Baltimore Improv Group, Baltimore, MD

​Improv asks us to pivot all the time. The plan changes, something unexpected happens, and instead of freezing, we listen, respond, and build from what’s actually in front of us. Those same skills, including active listening, mental flexibility, adaptability, and resilience, can be incredibly valuable when navigating a career transition. In this playful two-hour workshop, we’ll use accessible improv games and exercises to practice getting comfortable with uncertainty, responding to change, and discovering new possibilities in the moment. No improv experience required. Just a willingness to play.

And because career transitions can feel isolating, Pivot is also about connection. You’ll meet and play alongside other people who are navigating change, creating space for community, laughter, and maybe even a new perspective on what comes next.

By the end of this two-hour workshop, you will be guaranteed to have landed your dream job. 😂
